W.K.L. Dickson was Thomas Edisons assistant: for Edison he was in charge of experimentation that led to the Kinetoscope and Kinetograph, the first commercially successful moving image machines. Dickson established what we know today as the 35mm format (in 1891-1892); designed the Black Maria film studio and facilities to develop and print film; and he supervised production of more than 100 films for Edison (he acted as producer-director using an assistant to operate camera). His career touched many of the pioneers of the industry so by looking at his work, this well-illustrated book covers much of the early history of the industry, but from the perspective of his career. It is also a window on Thomas Edison, but from a quite different perspective.
