| Notes | A carte-de-visite photograph taken at William Friese Greene's Bath studio showing a full-length portrait of an unidentified man. By 1877, Friese Greene had expanded his photography trade to two studios, one in Bath and one in Plymouth. He later moved to London and became fascinated with the process of animated photography, in 1889 patenting a design for a camera for sensitised paper film, which took picture sequences at four or five pictures per second. He is remembered as one of the forefathers of modern cinematography. |
