Edward Raymond Turner worked as a photographer in London from the age of 15. In 1898 he was employed at a studio making the first commercially-available colour photographs. He must have realised the potential of applying a similar approach to the latest invention, cinema. With financial support from Frederick Marshall Lee, Turner produced the first British patent for colour motion pictures in 1899. Securing a patent for an invention is one thing; realising it practically is a different matter.
