| biography:
| Photographer, born in Lissa, Prussia (now Leszno, Poland). He was a pioneer of instantaneous photography and specialized in fast exposures taken with a shutter of his own design. By 1886 he had developed a number of viewing machines, and by 1892 his moving photographs were being exhibited in arcade machines known as the ‘Electrical Wonder’. In 1894 his Projecting Electrotachyscope was projecting moving sequences of animals and humans onto large screens, first in Berlin and later in Hamburg. |
