Robert Paul and the Origins of British Cinema.

"Robert Paul and the Origins of British Cinema" by Ian Christie is a biographical celebration of Robert Paul, a key figure in the early days of British cinema. Paul, who was also an inventor of scientific instruments, made hundreds of films in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although only a small number of his films have survived, they are considered important contributions to the development of early film. Christie's book provides a comprehensive view of Paul's career, family life, and the historical context in which he worked. The book also explores the intersections between science and media, making it relevant to historians of science. [Extracted from the article]
