Description
The Le Prince 16 lens Camera (interior), 1886. 47862 in lower right corner. [Made by Louis le Prince (1842-1890?) in Paris. This camera took a series of pictures using 16 independent shutters, fired in sequence. The camera was probably only operated with a single glass plate, limiting the sequence to 16 images, although the patent outlines a complex mechanism involving two moving paper films.]
