« No living person has seen the earliest films of pioneering cinema magician, Georges
Mé́liès. All that remain are his catalogs and a few archival images. The 2013 discovery
of a flip book manufactured by an obscure Parisian bimbelotier, Léon Beaulieu, promised
a glimpse of an unseen Méliè̀s film. This idea inspired years of investigation by
researcher Thierry Lecointe -- a trail that led him to collector and historian Pascal
Fouché and his amazing collection of more than 10,000 flip books, including 27 produced
by the mysterious Beaulieu. The conclusions of Lecointe's ground-breaking research
are astonishing. Léon Beaulieu's primitive flip books were comprised of images appropriated
from early films, many of them lost treasures. Early films by Méliès, but also Gaumont,
Skladanowsky and Pathé suddenly came to life after more than a century! This meticulously
researched volume reveals how these miraculous discoveries were made and features
more than 500 previously unpublished images that you won't have seen anywhere else.
