“Moisson was the Lumières‘ chief mechanic and worked with the brothers on the design of the prototype of the Cinématographe camera, and constructed the first working example. For the trials, the machine used bands of perforated photographic paper. He was operator of the Cinématographe at several of the early Lumière projections in 1895, including the demonstration to the Belgian Photographic Association on 10 November 1895, and the first show to a paying public at the Grand Café on 28 December 1895. The famous engraving of a Lumière Cinématogaphe projectionist is said to represent Moisson. He introduced the Lumière Cinématographe in Cologne, Germany, from 19 to 28 April 1896, where his ‘animated photographs’ received very complimentary comments in major local newspapers. Continuing to travel for the Lumières on 14 May 1896 Moisson was in Russia with Francis Doublier to photograph the coronation of Tsar Nikolas II and later in the year he travelled to Italy. In April 1897 at La Roche-sur-Yon in Western France he was the first to film a President of the French Republic on an official tour, Félix Faure. Moisson’s first model Cinématographe survives at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris.”
