1896 THE MOTOGRAPH MOVING PICTURE BOOK WALTER SYMONS (1855-1905) Symons received British Patent № 5759 on 14 March, 1896 for a publishing technique that caused pages in a book to appear to move. This process was used two years later making this book the oldest known publication that used two known everyday resources to create the illusion of motion in a static picture. The secret and combined materials that caused this apparition were talc, and a ribbed page transparency. It helped too, that Symons was a publisher.
