Auguste Lumière (1862 – 1954) and Louis Lumière (1864 – 1948), were among the earliest manufacturers of photography equipment, best known for their Cinématographe motion picture system and the short films they produced between 1895 and 1905. Their screening of a film lasting just 46 seconds on 22 March 1895 at the Society for the Development of National Industry in Paris was the first presentation of a projected film and is widely regarded as the birth of cinema. The flip book comes with an Augmented Reality feature, that you can visualize when scanning the front cover with your smartphone or tablet: a 3 minutes mini-documentary about the Lumière brother's life, their background and their most outstanding work.

Kevin M. ★★★★★

I've never actually seen the Lumière films in motion, so watching the horse move across these pages was a small revelation. The paper stock is thicker than I expected, so the frames don't bleed through when you flip fast.

Penelope ★★★★★

Flipping through these frames really brings the Lumière brothers' early films to life—each page captures that gritty, turn-of-the-century magic. The paper quality is just right for smooth animation.
