January: In May 1861, Henri Désiré du Mont had filed French patent 49,520 for "a photographic device for reproduction of the successive phases of movement".Zone Ray https://books.google.com/books?id=UXTAAgAAQBAJ&q=omniscope%20du%20mont&pg=PA28 Stereoscopic Cinema and the Origins of 3-D Film, 1838-1952 2014-02-03 University Press of Kentucky 978-0-8131-4589-1 enhttps://books.google.com/books?id=mgc_x5ph3sEC&q=kin%C3%A9tiscope&pg=PA33 Industry, Liberty, and a Vision: Wordsworth Donisthorpe's Kinesigraph Herbert Stephen 1998 The Projection Box 978-0-9523941-3-6 enMannoni, Laurent The Great Art of Light and Shadow (2000 translation by Crangle) In January 1862, DuMont explained his motives and ambitions in a demonstration for the Société Française de Photographie, stating that photographers already knew how to photograph subjects in motion, such as a galloping horse, but showed no interest in recording multiple images. He believed that series of successive images were much more interesting because of the harmony in lines and shadows, and because the captured poses of people would be much more natural. He therefore developed his patented stereoscopic and stroboscopic viewing apparatus and a camera that could capture the successive phases of movements with intervals of only fractions of seconds. He would attach the resulting images to the circumference of a cylindrical or prismatic drum, optionally bound together on a strip of fabric.https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k108250q Bulletin de la Société française de photographie Société française de photographie 1862 Gallica en 2020-04-25
