The process of chronophotography was the name given by Etienne-Jules Marey in 1882 to describe the time (chronos)
photographs of movement sequences. Needless to say, documenting these various temporal processes, whether it was a horse
running around a track or people walking, was an immensely difficult procedure. Paying homage to this important predecessor to the modern motion picture, this website contains a host of materials on the various individuals who made substantial contributions to this field during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Along with short video clips, the site contains extended profiles of key individuals, such as Ottomar Anschutz, George Demeny, and A.M. Worthington, who was renowned for his early studies of
splashes that involved dropping a ball into a pan containing a mixture of milk and water. One particular additional feature of this interesting site is a section dedicated to providing text and images of early period motion picture machines that were patented in the United States from 1861 to 1897. The patents profiled here range from Coleman Sellers 1861 "new and useful Improvement in the Mode of Exhibiting Stereoscopic Pictures of Moving Objects" to the 1897 patent filed by Thomas A. Edison for a "kinetographic camera."
