摘要

Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope was the first practical and commercially viable method of film exhibition. Its history in Britain has not, however, been well documented. Two complicating factors have been a previous over-reliance placed on an incomplete and misleading account by Robert Paul (1869-1943), and a failure by film historians to appreciate the central role of the contemporary phonograph business in the commercial development of the Kinetoscope. The opportunity to take a fresh look at circumstances surrounding its introduction into Britain, and the fraudulent attempt to copy it, is now possible due to the location by the author of a contemporary record of a hitherto unknown legal case. A full transcript of this document is given in the appendix. This article briefly examines the characteristics of the commercial context affecting the UK Kinetoscope business in early 1895, noting the development of niche markets, competition, price trends, and the financial viability of Kinetoscope exhibition.View full textDownload full textKeywordsKinetoscope, early British cinema, business history, Thomas Edison, Robert PaulRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17460654.2012.729714
