| | MOMI - BRITISH PIONEERS |
 | | he first film pioneers in Britain were those who tried to obtain sequence photographs on strips of paper and celluloid film, immediately after its introduction. |
 | | These included Louis Aime Augustin Le Prince, a Frenchman living in Leeds who made a 16-lens camera of unusual design, and then a one-lens camera for paper film, with which he shot sequences of Leeds Bridge, his son playing the melodion, and the family in their garden, in 1888. |
 | | Donisthorpe, inspired by the mechanisms of his father"s wool-combing inventions, made a sequence camera for plates in 1876, and with Crofts patented an ingenious film camera (1889) with which they filmed Trafalgar square, London, probably in 1890. |
