Road to Bath

The links between the development of the railroad and the development of the moving image have been well documented.

Sitting in a cinema watching a reel of celluloid pass in front of you at a constant speed and sitting in a railway carriage watching the landscape pass in front of you at a constant speed have obvious similarities.
