Motion pictures were initially exhibited as a fairground novelty used as one of the important tools of communication in the 19th century
Do you have any examples of early fairgrounds in the 19th century?
The early fair ground was a period when cinematography evolved into a full scale film production
Oh cool!  I remember seeing how the early camera was made.  Very interesting how they had to stay still for so long.
It would also interest you to know that cinematography was created from the Greek words ("kinema"),

Its Greek  meaning derives in English "movement, motion" and ("graphein") meaning "to record", together meaning "recording motion."
