On February 13 1895, Louis and Auguste Lumière patented the name Cinématographe in both their names. Their Cinématographe combined a camera for recording the movement, a printer and, when connected to a magic lantern, a projector. About the same size of an ordinary hand held still camera, the Cinématographe differed from the Kinetoscope in many ways - notably in its size and weight. The camera in this auction is one of the best examples known to exist, completely original, never restored. It comes with the original taking and projections lens and three Lumiere Cintematographe films in their original metal cases
