Specific date unknown: In his 1867 account about the origin of the optical toy thaumatrope, the French artist Antoine Claudet stated that he had heard that John Ayrton Paris had once been present when John Herschel demonstrated his rotating coin trick to his children. Paris reportedly got the idea for the thaumatrope from Herschel's trick.A new fact relating to Binocular Vision 1867 Claudet Antoine Proceedings of the Royal Society of London 15 424–429 10.1098/rspl.1866.0099 144133225 http://rspl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/15/424.full.pdf+html free Claudet also noted in 1867 that the thaumatrope could create a three-dimensional illusion. A spinning rectangular thaumatrope with the alternating letters of the name "Victoria" on each side, showed the full word with the letters at two different distances from the observer's eye. If the two strings of the thaumatrope are attached to the same side of the card, the thickness of the card accounts for a small difference in the distances when each side is visible. W. R. Hill (1823–1901) was Henry Langdon Childe's apprentice in the slide painting art for magic lanterns. In 1867, Hill moved on to work for John Henry Pepper.http://www.cinematheque.fr/uk/museum-and-collections/actualite-collections/dons-acquisitions/pilgrim-progress.html cinematheque.fr, The Pilgrim's Progress: the Cinémathèque française acquires a collection of 33 magic lantern plates. 28 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140203033359/http://www.cinematheque.fr/uk/museum-and-collections/actualite-collections/dons-acquisitions/pilgrim-progress.html 3 February 2014 dead Births June June 8: O'Galop, French animator and cartoonist, (created about 40 animated films between 1910 and 1927), (d. 1946).Lambiek.net September September 10: Alexander Shiryaev, Russian animation director, ballet dancer, ballet master and choreographer, (grom 1906 to 1909, Shiryaev produced a number of pioneering stop motion and traditionally animated films. He recreated various ballets by staging them through using hand-made dolls which he created from either clay or papier-mâché; they were 20-25 cm on tall, and their body parts were connected by thin wire which provided plasticity. He then filmed them on camera, frame by frame. In the process he also made thousands of sketches, catching every movement, also turning them into a filming reel so that one could watch the entire dance in the form of a cartoon, (d. 1941).Anna Kisselgoff.
