Urban is a well-known and crucial figure in early film history for his development of Kinemacolor, the world s first successful natural color moving picture system. But Urban s influence was even more far-reaching, according to Luke McKernan. As McKernan reveals, Urban s deep belief in film as an educational tool led him to become an innovator of wartime propaganda. Drawing on material found in Urban s own papers and a deep knowledge of early film, Luke McKernan has put together an accessible, exciting, and informative biography ."
