Advertising posters

Advertising poster of the Pathé Baby amateur cinema devices. "Home cinema" is the main slogan used by the Pathé to sell these products. The success of these devices was immediate; It is estimated that about twenty thousand projectors were sold during the first months in which they were on sale. Being able to watch films at home, and even make films in a cheap, easy and safe way, was the key to the success of the Pathé Baby. In addition to the initial hundred titles of films to be screened with the Pathé Baby that went on sale, fifty more titles will be added each month. It should be borne in mind that the Pathé house was one of the main film production companies of early cinema, which made it easier to have very extensive film catalogues.
