Wikipedia description:
Robert William Paul (3 October 1869 – 28 March 1943) was an English pioneer of film and scientific instrument maker. He made narrative films as early as April 1895, which were shown first in Edison Kinetoscope knockoffs. In 1896 he showed his films projected, at about the time the Lumière brothers were pioneering projected films in France. His first notably successful scientific device was his Unipivot galvanometer. In 1999, the British film industry erected a commemorative plaque on his building at 44 Hatton Garden, in central London.
