Kinetoscope-Thomas Edison(1847-1931)
The Kinetoscope, invented by Thomas Edison and William K. L. Dickson, is considered to be the first “movie machine”. It was in production in the early 1890s and quickly became popular in carnivals and sideshows. One of the first short films for the Kinetoscope was Fred Ott’s Sneeze. “Kinetoscope parlors,” with coin-operated machines, sprang up in New York in the late 1890s.
