Lot Essay

The Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis Jean, are credited as the fathers of cinematography. At the "Grand Cafe" in Paris in 1895, they unveiled for the first time their cinematograph, a technical innovation that revolutionized the nascent motion picture. It was the first public projection of a film. While Louis continued his work on pictures and invented autochrome plates for colour photography, his brother focused his interests on biology and medicine. Auguste was a pioneer in the modern research and treatment of wounds and in 1915 he perfected a revolutionary sterilized "treatment-bandage". When Auguste Lumière died in 1954 he had registered more than one hundred patents.
