Description:
In the summer of 1887, Louis Le Prince crafted an extraordinary work - the last remaining production of his groundbreaking LPCC Type-16 camera, capable of capturing moving images through its impressive sixteen lenses. This cinematic marvel was brought to life by a simple yet profound scene: a man casually walking around a corner. Unbeknownst to him at the time, Le Prince had inadvertently created an artifact that would echo through the ages, as he sent these precious gelatine film frames to his wife in New York City. Captured at a remarkable 32 images per second, this footage encapsulates the early pioneering spirit of the film industry and serves as a poignant reminder of the humble beginnings of a medium that would captivate audiences worldwide for generations to come.
