Kinora, Lumiere Brothers' Invention, c.1895

A Kinora, with photographs. The Kinora was a kind of mutoscope in which a sequence of small photographic prints, rotated by a handle, flicked past a lens in rapid succession and gave the impression of a moving subject. It was invented around 1896 by the Lumiere brothers in Paris, and was popularised in Great Britain by the Kinora company between 1895 and 1914. Auguste and Louis Lumiere were the first filmmakers in history. They patented the cinematograph, which in contrast to Edison's "peepshow" kinetoscope allowed simultaneous viewing by multiple parties. Their first film, Sortie de l'usine Lumiere de Lyon, shot in 1895, is considered the first true motion picture.
