History Lessons for Misanthropes
History
In this episode Mildred shares a history of the early days of moving pictures, and the race among inventors to be the first to discover a way of photographing and projecting. Among the inventors was Louis le Prince, who is arguably the first person to invent and patent a moving picture camera and projector. But his films would never have a public screening, because in 1890 he mysteriously disappeared.
What happened to le Prince? Was it industrial sabotage, or an unrelated, random crime?
