The great art of light and shadow : archaeology of the cinema
Laurent Mannoni (Author), Richard Crangle (Editor, Translator)
"First published in French in 1995 and now translated into English, Laurent Mannoni's account is widely regarded by historians of the early moving picture as the best work yet published on the pre-cinema world, throwing light on a fascinating range of optical media from the twelfth century to the turn of the twentieth: a strange mixture of science, magic, art and deception."--Jacket
