Inventor of photographic equipment, along with his brother, Auguste. In 1893 they developed a cine camera, the cinématographe, and showed the first motion pictures using film projection in 1895. They also invented the Autochrome screen plate for color photography in 1903. ALS in French, one page both sides, 4 x 5.75, Villa Lumiere letterhead, January 31, 1946. In part (translated): “Your food package arrived intact…a real treat for me because food is in very short supply here–40 grams of meat in three weeks…No danger of getting fat!…I don’t know what the parliamentary raisine has in store for us but it is difficult to imagine anything reasonable coming from it…I understand why you’re not in a hurry to return to France.” In fine condition, with uniform toning and a bit of scattered light soiling.
