\"The Cinema Handbook, 1921 1st Edition\" by Austin C. Lescarbours is a rare and valuable collectible for early cinema enthusiasts. Published in New York by Munn & Company and printed by Scientific American Publishing Co., this book offers insights into cinematography equipment and techniques from the early 1920s. With a focus on historical and technical aspects of early cinematography equipment, this original 1st edition handbook provides a unique glimpse into the world of filmmaking during that time period.
The handbook is in amazing condition for its over 100 years of age. No rips, tears or other damage to the pages or binding. Complete from front to back, nothing missing. Has gold page edging in bright excellent condition. Overall very very nice and solid. Book size is approx: 5-3/8 x 4-5/8 x 3/4 inches.
There is a hand written signature on the inside back of the front cover. It looks like: Leland Benfer (a little hard to read, see picture).
A very informative little manual with loads of great pictures of equipment and information all about early Cinematography tools and how to use them. Lots of pictures with 1920s people using equipment in the studio and out in the field.
Thank you for looking and your interest.
