Kineograph patent

John Barnes Linnett (born c. 1831 – 9 October 1870)[1] was a British lithograph printer based in Birmingham, England. Although the French Pierre-Hubert Desvignes is generally credited with being the inventor of the flip book, Linnett was the first to patent the invention, in 1868, under the name of kineograph.[2][3]

He was born in Austrey, Warwickshire.[4]

Linnett died of pneumonia in 1870 in Moseley, Warwickshire. His wife sold the patent to an American.
