CLUE ONLY:
Not sure on this one
The dude pictured, Louis Le Prince is associated with the American Consulate- where applied for. Patent for his moving picture cameras…
He was a bit of an outcast in as much as
He was fighting with his bro over his mothers estate and fighting with Thomas Edison over who first invented the ‘moving picture’ camera
Perhaps more relevantly, in 1890 he disappeared, (or was cast out)last seen on a train on the way show off his cameras.
The clue- a bomb shelter is a bit obscure, but these, like Le Prince’s original 16 lens camera both use parallax- the camera by taking images in quick succession to create a facsimile of a moving picture via the rapid sequential showing of still images. The bombs shelters typically had multiple viewing petitions with man’s different types of viewing instruments which helped determine how far away a target or enemy was… so are related through the term parallax…

··IG: #blubarb19Hi Matty
It's been awhile since I made up one of these (or solved one), so I hope I haven't thrown in too many red herrings or over complicated it.

All very true (and I didn't know any of that) but when you look at him what do you see? I see the most basic nomenclature?
The clue- a bomb shelter is a bit obscure
It's actually a WWII Watchout (wherein lies a clue)

Damn cool, creative answer, but it's way simpler than that.
I wouldn't look so deep into it though.
Pic 1: A particular but very definite article to be found there
pic 2: Hmmm...think of Carl Linnaeus (1758)
pic 3: Y'all need to think about this one to cap it off
New clue: The detective kept a close watch on every movement.
Good luck!!

··Melbourne AustraliaI was still trying to figure it out when Matty dropped the answer, and I still didn't get it.
I'm off to bed.

·The correct answer from our stalwart rebus solver, @Charlemagne1333 . Indeed that is the answer. Originally published on June 8, 1949. So this is its 77th anniversary. Well done! I told you it would be simple!

·Good rebus @Canuck . I’ll have to don my thinking cap and see if I can put one together.

·I suspect this one might be too easy. I’ll try and cobble together a harder rebus.
