M.H. Laddé
M.H. (Machiel Hendricus) Laddé[1] (November 5, 1866 - February 18, 1932) was a Dutch photographer and film director. He was the director of the first Dutch film, the 1896 comedy Gestoorde hengelaar (English: Disturbed Angler).[2][3]
Between 1896 and c.1906 Laddé made several short silent movies and docufilms for the studio Eerst Nederlandsch Atelier tot het vervaardigen van Films voor de Bioscoop en Cinematograaf M.H. Laddé & J.W. Merkelbach. These were shown by the traveling cinema of (George) Christiaan Slieker (1861-1945).[4]
None of Laddé's films have been preserved.
Laddé also was a well-known photographer with his own studio in Amsterdam and was the son-in-law of the photographer J.W. (Johannes Wilhelm, known as Wim) Merkelbach (1873-1922)[5][6][3] who was his business partner.[7]
