History of early photography, including early photography inventions. History of the early films, as an artistic medium chronicles the development of a visual art form, created using film technologies that began in the 19th century. In its infancy, film was rarely recognized as an art form by presenters or audiences. Regarded by the upper class as a "vulgar" and "lowbrow" The exact origins of the world’s first movies can be difficult to trace as people have been creating precursors to films — shadow puppetry, magic lantern projectors, and other visual storytelling aids — since prehistoric times. Most film historians do agree that the first motion pictures that could be considered films emerged in the late 1800s. Among these early cinema innovators were Thomas Edison, Georges Méliès, William K.L. Dickson, and Auguste and Louis Lumière. Many of these early films have survived in some form and are preserved by various film archives around the world Shown by original early films and slides
