Personal Quote:

[advice he gave, as the father of modern cinematography] Young man, you can be grateful that my invention is not for sale, for it would undoubtedly ruin you. It can be exploited for a certain time as a scientific curiosity, but apart from that is has no commercial value whatsoever.

Trivia:

Co-founded, with brother Louis Lumière, the production/distribution company Société Lumière in 1895 in France. See more »
