First Seen in Atlanta

In the mid-1880s, George Eastman invented a process for coating a photographic emulsion onto a flexible material...put more simply, he invented film. Not only was that a giant leap in the evolution of photography, but the new medium also opened the door for the development of motion pictures. A decade later, Thomas Edison unveiled the Kinetoscope, a cabinet-like device that allowed a person to view a short film running on a loo. Two years, the Lumière Brothers introduced France to the Cinematograph, a device that took the film loop out of the cabinet and projected it onto a screen so several people at once could view the movie. Though popular history generally credits the Lumière Brothers as being the first to project a movie before a paying audience, there are those who disagree...including two men who came to Atlanta for that exact purpose. We break it down in Part 2 of our tale about “The Peepshow,” on this week’s Stories of Atlanta.
