The plaque dedicated to these two pioneers of moving pictures. Rudge was primarily an instrument maker, specialising in an image projector (known as the Biophantic Lantern). Friese-Greene met and collaborated with Rudge in Bath, finally patenting the 'chronophotographic' camera in 1889. See Image] for a location view.
