On this day in 1888 Louis Le Prince filmed the oldest surviving motion picture, 'Roundhay Garden Scene'. “But,” I hear you cry, “motion pictures were not invented until 1895 by the Lumiè brothers or indeed by Thomas Edison in 1889.” Well you'd be wrong: the Lumiè brothers and Edison invented methods of showing motion pictures to the public but Le Prince was the man with the blue spark in this case.
Le Prince disappeared in mysterious circumstances, with theories as to what happened ranging from suicide to murder by people trying to claim they invented motion pictures. It was thought until 2003 that his body was never found but a search of French archives came up with a photograph of an unknown victim of drowning that is now thought to be Le Prince. As he was meant to be on a train to Paris at the time he went missing, foul play or suicide are both possibilities that can't be ruled out.
