Watching All Films - 1880s

Now this one has a slight dark story behind it, because this was Le Prince’s last moving image he produced, a simple vision into the 19th century seeing people travelling across a bridge. But 2 years after his final piece here, he completely disappeared and was never seen again, supposedly got on a train to France and when the train arrived, Le Prince was not on it, nothing was found. Theories are everywhere about it but yet no one fully knows what happened to him, technically an iconic piece of cinema history and no one even knows what happened to him.
