"Moving Pictures: How They Are Made and Worked" by Frederick Arthur Ambrose Talbot is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the process and technology behind the creation of moving pictures, detailing advancements in photography and the intricate work performed by various pioneers in the field. It serves as both a historical account and an informative guide to understanding the mechanics and artistry involved in motion photography. The opening of this work introduces the concept of animated photography and the challenges overcome by early inventors in capturing movement. Talbot discusses the transition from lengthy exposure times that made capturing motion nearly impossible to the development of instantaneous photography, which paved the way for motion pictures. He emphasizes the significance of visual persistence—the way the human brain perceives rapid sequences of images as continuous motion—and outlines the inventions and experimentations that led to the inception of moving pictures, setting the stage for the later detailed chapters on the technical aspects of film production and projection.
