Description:
William Freise-Greene, now frail and largely unknown, was once a very different man. As a young man named William Green, he changed his name to honor his first wife, hoping it would enhance his reputation as a skilled photographer. He was also an inventor, and his pursuit of a way to project moving pictures became an all-consuming passion that profoundly impacted the lives of those around him.
