none Events in 1860 in animation. Events February 27: Peter Hubert Desvignes received British patent no. 537 for 28 monocular and stereoscopic variations of cylindrical stroboscopic devices, much like the later zoetrope. His devices included a version that used an endless band of pictures running between two spools which was intermittently lit by an electric spark.https://books.google.com/books?id=UXTAAgAAQBAJ&q=peter+hubert+desvignes+patent&pg=PA31 Stereoscopic Cinema and the Origins of 3-D Film, 1838-1952 Ray Zone February 3, 2014 University Press of Kentucky 978-0-8131-4589-1 Google Books Desvignes' Mimoscope later received an honourable mention "for ingenuity of construction" at the 1862 International Exhibition in London.April 10, 1862 Medals and Honourable Mentions Awarded by the International Juries: With a ... https://archive.org/details/medalsandhonour00goog live Her Majesty's Commissioners Internet Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20200724193416/https://archive.org/details/medalsandhonour00goog July 24, 2020 It could "exhibit drawings, models, single or stereoscopic photographs, so as to animate animal movements, or that of machinery, showing various other illusions."Handbook to the industrial department of the International exhibition, 1862 Hunt Robert 1862 https://books.google.com/books?id=-fUHAAAAQAAJ&pg=RA1-PA181 Specific date unknown: John Herschel envisioned the stereoscopic representation of scenes in action. He figured that photography could already, or would soon be able to take snapshots in one tenth of a second and that a mechanism was possible "by which a prepared plate may be presented, focused, impressed, displaced, secured in the dark, and replaced by another within two or three tenths of a second". Apparently without knowledge of previous developments in the field, Herschel believed the "phenakistoscope" (sic) could very well be adapted into a viewer for stereoscopic motion photography pairs. He also had high hopes for the development of colour photography, since he himself had already obtained promising results.https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044096812060&view=1up&seq=443 The photographic news. v.3–4 (1859–1860).

By 1860, however, mass production began to make magic lanterns more widely available and affordable.
