He was possibly the first person to shoot a moving picture sequence using a single lens camera and a strip of (paper) film.

Front-of-jacket photographs by Carl Flatow Front-of-jacket design by Denise Palma. keywords: Film History Science. DESCRIPTION - In September, 1890, the French inventor Augustin Le Prince boarded a train for Paris. For three years he had struggled to perfect a motion picture camera and projector, buoyed amid minor successes only by his own vision and his family's faith in him. Now Le Prince's diligence finally paid off. He was on his way to rejoin his wife Lizzie and to present the world debut of moving pictures. Only, Le Prince never reached Paris, and his disappearance crushed the hopes of his family and colleagues and altered the technological revolution he had fostered - for, within a few months, the American inventor Thomas Edison received patents for suspiciously similar instruments, one of the most lucrative discoveries of all time. How did this come to happen? Almost one hundred years after these unsettling events, filmmaker and author Christopher Rawlence embarked on a journey of his own, to solve a mystery buried in legal documents and family memoirs, lacuna-ridden archives and primitive movie footage. The Missing Reel is the story of Rawlence's quest, spanning a century and two continents, from the Dickensian cityscape of nineteenth-century Leeds to the beaches of Fire Island in the 1920s, through the world capitals of London, Paris, and New York in the 1890s to an attic in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1988. Rawlence interweaves his own story with a meticulous reconstruction of a past era: a time of optimism, when it seemed art and science could save humanity, and a time of skulduggery and corporate subterfuge practiced by the high priests of human progress - including Thomas Edison and his team of litigators, whom Lizzie Le Prince had to contend with in order to prove her husband was the true father of film. Where she failed, Rawlence succeeds in this remarkable book, detailing the invention of motion pictures and delineating the dramatic personalities who pioneered the industry. Rawlence's narrative cuts from the past to the present and back again, building a cinematic suspense that makes The Missing Reel an extraordinary detective thriller and a contemporary investigative classic. inventory #15591.…
