Specimen. Lumière film frame

Name	"Cinématographe August & Louis Lumière. Specimen d´une des 900 photographies formant une bande cinematographique".
Place	France
Date	after 1896
Register	1935

Frame of one of the films of the Lumière brothers, placed in the central part of a piece of cardboard, which contains advertising information about the Cinématographe. In fact, it is an advertising element that the organisers of film sessions could use with the Lumière brothers film projector. On the back of this card, these cinemas used to stamp their name on it with a rubber stamp. It is, perhaps, one of the most remote precedents of popular cinema programmes, which cinemas gave to cinema spectators between the 1920s and 1970s.
