John Carbutt (1832-1905) was the first person to use celluloid for photographic film. On 2 December 1832 he was born in Sheffield, England. He moved to Chicago in 1853. He founded his Keystone Dry Plate Works in 1879 and was the first to develop sheets of celluloid coated with photographic emulsion for making films in 1888, and for William Kennedy Dickson's Kinetoscope around 1890, which set the 35mm standard for motion and still cameras.[1]
