Funny, cause the guy also took out a French patent on a device for 
taking and exhibiting photographs in succesive order:

And, according to some Brazilian sites (his first patent was registered 
in Brazil in 1902) he was Swiss and his name was Adhemar Napoleón Petit. 
(Variation: Ademar). But don't bother google the Swiss sites - there's 
not a trace of him.
