"Worth adding a comment here on the relevance to British Photographic History.

"Hi Steve. More on this. I checked the 1896 edition of the Process Year Book - printed by The Cranford Press of Chiswick but the 1902 edition (now Penrose's Pictorial Annual) was indeed printed by Percy Lund, Humphries & Co Ltd. This article suggests…"
"Thanks Ian. Just re-read the PH article - very useful perspective.

"The Lumière brothers did some fascinating work. My interest in them is twofold.
I recall them contributing some significant comments on the evolution of photographic science in France in the 1890s. I plan to revisit this.
Like Ilford their business…"
