EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of cinema. Taken in 1905 but published in 1935, it showcases French inventor and cinematographer Eugene Lauste experimenting with "Talkies" - the combination of moving images and sound. Standing at the center of attention, Lauste is seen filming with his pioneering sound-on-film camera in his own back garden located in Brixton, south London. The image exudes an air of excitement and curiosity as Lauste delves into uncharted territory. His groundbreaking invention would revolutionize the film industry, forever changing the way stories were told on screen. This photograph serves as a testament to Lauste's innovative spirit and determination to push boundaries. Surrounded by lush greenery, this intimate setting adds a touch of charm to the scene. It is evident that even within the confines of his own backyard, Lauste was driven by a passion for both science and artistry. The monochrome aesthetic lends a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. Published in "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" this image stands as a tribute not only to Eugene Lauste but also to all those who have contributed their creativity and ingenuity towards advancing technology within the realm of cinema.
