This First Day Cover (FDC) celebrates the legacy of the Lumière Brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumière, the visionary pioneers who invented the Cinématographe—an all-in-one camera and projector that revolutionized moving pictures and officially launched the film industry around 1885.

Their groundbreaking work laid the foundation of modern cinema, making this FDC a meaningful collectible for film historians, cinema lovers, and philatelists alike.
