L'Oeuvre scientifique de Auguste Lumière dans le domaine de la biologie et de la médecine

First edition.

The association of the Lumière brothers’ name with the development of the cinematograph should not obscure the fact that Auguste Lumière (1862–1954) was прежде всего a biologist of distinction.

Having as early as 1895 left the new invention to his brother Louis, he established a laboratory of experimental physiology and pharmacodynamics in order to direct his discoveries toward experimental medicine.

These became the Lumière Laboratories in Lyon, which he personally directed until 25 October 1940, when he transferred the presidency of the company to his son, while continuing his research until his death.
