LUMIERE, AUGUSTE
(1862 - 1954) French motion picture pioneer and co-inventor with his brother of the Lumiere process of color photography and the Cinematographe, an early motion picture camera with which he made the first motion picture. Good content A.L.S. on his personal letterhead, 2pp. 8vo., Lyon, July 7, 1943 to a gentleman, in French. Lumiere notes that he accepts some ""slight modifications"" to an article, adding in part: ""...I understand perfectly your scruples which are well justified. If I had not proven it in writing my note, it is because I am obliged to manifest my opinion vis a vis some official personalities who are always trying to stifle my research - But I voluntarily make the sacrifice of my opinion..."". Fine condition.
