The leap of faith
We all know the brothers Lumières for the invention of the film in 1895. But by their own account, the invention of the color picture in 1903 was their biggest challenge. They also invented the instant photography which they beautifully illustrate on this picture when one of the brothers jumped in the air. They used that simple picture for their commercials. Back on Monday for our last week of history posts.
The first time you join us? Staying at home due to Corona? What is the story behind this picture? Each weekday I will make a personal chronological selection of a historical photograph telling you the (his)story behind the picture. Share this with your family or kids to discuss. Maybe you can first show the picture and tell the date. Then, have them guess about the picture’s significance. Hope you enjoy this brief moment in difficult times. If yes, don’t forget to like. Be safe, Pierre
