Item Details
Description
(1861 – 1938) Pioneering French film director and filmmaker, best known for early films such as 'A Trip to the Moon' and 'The Impossible Voyage'. Manuscript D.S. 'G. Melies', 2pp. 4to., Paris, Dec. 10, 1912, a receipt for royalties on Melies’ 'Manufacture de Films pour Cinematopgraphes' letterhead referencing 34 prints of 'Linked By Fate' and an additional reference to 'All is Fair'. Light folds, filing holes at the left margin, else very good. In 1913, Melies’ film company was forced into bankruptcy by the large French and American studios, his company was bought out of receivership. The French Army seized most of this stock to be melted down into boot heels during World War I, and many of the other films were sold to be recycled into new film. As a result, many of his films no longer exist.
