Who are the Lumiere Brothers?

| Lumiere Brothers |
Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas and Louis Jean were born in Besançon, France, in 1862 and 1864, and moved to Lyon in 1870.
The Kinora was the most successful home movie machine in Britain before 1912. Because of its design and inability to project moving pictures, its use was limited to one or a few people, and therefore became popular at home where public screen projection was unnecessary. 17 years earlier, the Lumiere brothers had created a device capable of projecting movies to large audiences.
A wheel, 14 cm in diameter, holds a set of small individual pictures. The wheel is rotated by a handle, allowing each picture to become fixed for a short moment in front of a lens. Because of its design, only one person at a time can view the movie through the single lens. At the right turning speed, the succession of pictures gives the illusion of motion. Each wheel has 25 seconds of motion.
