The article credits George Eastman with the invention of film. I think it only right that Hannibal Goodwin receive the credit for this major invention, for which he had applied for a patent in 1887. After all, in 1914 the Ansco company, which had purchased Goodwin's patent, was awarded a judgement against the Eastman Company, with damages amounting to $5 million. Goodwin himself did not live to see this, as he died in 1900. He is truly the forgotten man of photography.
