Based entirely on original research, its authors show how the kinetoscope peepshow viewer established motion pictures before films were projected. Many of the showmen, inventors, and entrepreneurs who introduced this new form of entertainment are identified for the first time, whilst the contributions of other, well-known pioneers are re- examined and re-assessed."--Back cover. 650 0 Kinetoscope|xHistory. 650 0 Motion picture projection|zGreat Britain|xHistory. 650 0 Motion picture audiences|xHistory. 700 1 Anthony, Barry,|eauthor. 700 1 Musser, Charles,|ewriter of foreword. 700 1 Harvey, Michael,|c(Cinematography curator),|eauthor. 956 20180501 |bpfmcq|cCO 957 OCLC xref loaded 20180513 994 C0|bCUY
