Burton Holmes

Holmes, {{Circa|1905}} Elias Burton Holmes (January 8, 1870 – July 22, 1958) was an American traveler, photographer and filmmaker credited with the invention of the "travelogue", though the term itself was apparently coined in 1898 by John Bowker. Travel stories, slide shows, and motion pictures were all in existence before Holmes began his career, as was the profession of travel lecturer; but Holmes was the first person to put all of these elements together into documentary travel lectures. He recorded the earliest known footage of Japan and Korea, in 1899. Provided by Wikipedia
