First line

Beginning in 1895, cinema established itself first and foremost as a window on the world, a dazzling new source of visual information in the form of short films called actualities.

From the rear cover

"Lynne Kirby switches elegantly between the registers of historical account, theoretical speculation, intertextual mapping, and close analysis. She enriches the genre of cultural histories of technology with detailed attention to the apparatus and textual processes elaborated over the past two decades in cinema studies. And she enriches the latter by opening up the focus from cinema to include related institutions and the dynamics of the public sphere that encompasses and is shaped by both."--Miriam Hansen, University of Chicago
