One of the very earliest film books retained for reference in the then newly developing field of motion pictures. Charles Francis Jenkins (1867 – 1934) started experimenting with motion picture film in 1891, and eventually created his own projector, the Phantoscope. Jenkins presented the first film projected in front of an audience. Jenkins had created his own film. This the first showing of a reeled film using an electric light as projection before an audience, as well as the first motion picture in color as Jenkins had hand colored the film frame by frame. Jenkins’s Animated Pictures is one of cinema’s early landmark books. He eventually went on to hold 400 patents, and was one of the key people in the history of the development of television.
