'Grounded in original scholarship on all of these figures, with a soundly-based perspective on the origins of multiple-image and cinematic experiments, this is an extremely important book that even today remains a significant contribution to understanding both the context and the achievements of the broadest range of chronophotographers.'
Deac Rossell, Early Popular Visual Culture
