		It is said that when the Lumieres showed their film of the arrival of a train at a station, the audience jumped back from the screen as if they were going to be run over by the oncoming train.
		Louis Lumiere, the genius of the family, was also something of an artist.
		The moving shots from trains and ships in the Lumiere films provide amazing glimpses of the life of cities, conveying a feeling of freedom, of liberation from the bonds of space, that wouldn't be rediscovered in commercial film for another 25 years.

	Institut Lumiere - English - Museum
		Louis Lumière, however, devised a method of filtering light by using a single three-colour screen made up of millions of grains of potato starch dyed in three different colours.
		Prior to Louis Lumière’s invention of the autochrome plate, color photography was a medium beyond the scope of even the wealthy or well-informed amateur.
		This mix (7000 grains/mm2), which was spread on a glass plate previously coated with an adhesive varnish, received a powdering of carbon fl to fill the minute gaps between the potato starch grains before being rolled at pressure of 7 tonnes/cm2 to flatten the layer and increase its transparency to light.

	Louis Lumière / Louis Lumiere / director / realisateur / films / biography
		It was left largely to Louis to explore the new medium and to exploit its commercial potential.
		Louis was the more artistically minded of the two brothers — it was he who photographed and directed the Lumières’ first films.
		This was followed by the first public showing of a number of Louis’ short films in Paris on 28 December 1895, a date which is often cited as marking the birth of cinema.

	Who's Who of Victorian Cinema
		Although Auguste gave credit to Louis, the successful machine was patented in France on 13 February 1895 in the name of both brothers, in common with their other inventions.
		Louis ordered twenty five Cinématographes from engineer Jules Carpentier, followed by an order for a further 200, and within weeks agents took them throughout Europe, America, and within months all over the world, shooting scenes and giving filmshows.
		In 1902, Louis opened a Photorama exhibit in Paris, his invention using a band of film and fast-revolving lenses to produce, by means of persistence of vision, a circular, static panorama.

	The Lumiere brothers presented in History section
		Though Thomas Edison is often widely considered the father of “moving pictures,” French inventors Louis Lumiere and Auguste Lumiere were technologically and artistically of equal or greater importance to the development of cinema.
		Louis had created and patented the cin?matographe, the device that changed the face of early cinema.
		The Lumiere Brothers quickly sent movie photographers to photograph exotic places in various parts of the world because people wanted to see moving images of distant countries and peoples.

	Institut Lumiere - Musee
		With their research in the realm of photography, Auguste and Louis Lumière were actually perpetuating a certain impressionistic pictorialism, which might seem paradoxical in view of the extraordinary progress they were making in the cinematographic visualisation of the world.
		The claw was a motif that evidently loomed large in Louis Lumière's subconscious, from the anthropomorphic prosthesis to the sewing machine, via the mechanism by which the film was drawn through the Cinematograph.
		It was in Paris, on 22 March 1895, that Louis Lumière gave material expression to the confluence of these different currents when he projected animated photographic images with his Cinematograph.

	EuroScreenwriters - Interviews with European Film Directors - The Lumiere Brothers
		In the past, the films of Auguste and Louis Lumière have principally been available in badly-worn dupes, making it difficult to appreciate their work.
		Louis Lumière was an experienced photographer and he brought a fine sense of composition to his work with the motion picture camera.
		In later years, he claimed that the films were made to simply "reproduce life." And many critics have pointed to these films as part of a realistic tradition--in contrast to the fantastic works of Georges Melies.

		Ironically as we look back in retrospect in comparison to what film has developed into today, the Lumiere Brothers believed it to be a medium without a future as they suspected that people would bore of images that they could just as easily see by walking out into the street.
		However, their film sequence of a train pulling into the station reportedly had audiences screaming and ducking for cover as they believed that the train itself was about to plow into the theater.
		Born in the Haute-Saone District in 1862 and 1864, with Auguste being the elder, the Lumiere family eventually settled in Lyon.

	Lumiere and his view: the cameraman's eye in early cinema - Louis Lumiere Historical Journal of Film, Radio and ...
		To approach the Lumiere view other than by its surface effects - effects commented on a thousand times, often in an approximate manner, always relying on the same views - to best discern the principles which order it, demands at the very least that the status of the cameraman himself be taken into consideration.
		In one sense, the Lumiere cameraman is indeed the distant offshoot of the painter Constantin Guys, or Edgar Allan Poe's famous "man of the crowds".
		For the stroller as for the operator, the crowd, far from being reduced to a simple object of desire, is also the worthy object of stimulation in return, as can be seen in Baudelaire's statement where he introduces the metaphor of the "immense reservoir of electricity".
