Lumiere
The Lumiere museum was a good example of how the crowning achievement of some individuals overshadow their other accomplishments. The Lumiere brothers had many more inventions and patents then just their cinematographe that cross multiple fields of use. The invention of the blue photo plate allowed for instant photography and helped bring back their family business from the brink of bankruptcy. Other inventions included a non-stick bandage (tulle gras), a prosthetic arm, and a paper diaphragm for record players. The achievements of the brothers also included the invention of the chromagraph, the first form of color photographic plates.

Very awesome background information, Quincy! I also would have liked more about their lives.
ReplyDeleteI thought the non stick bandage was pretty cool because it was completely different from their other inventions.
