John Barnes Linnett
John Barnes Linnett (c. 1831 – ) 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.[1][2]
He was born in Austrey, Warwickshire.[3]
Linnett died of pneumonia. His wife sold the patent to an American.
