Elias Burton Holmes (January 8, 1870 – July 22, 1958) was an American traveler, photographer and filmmaker credited with the invention of the "travelogue",[1] though the term itself was apparently coined in 1898 by John Bowker.[2] 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.[citation needed] He recorded the earliest known footage of Japan and Korea, in 1899.
