This would have been a low volume publication and is no longer in print I
was not a member of the society at the time and do not have my own copy but
one is regularly on display at my local Midland group meetings .These wont
start again untill October.

 I did not have my sources with me at the time (or now) but I have looked
them up since my last post. In fact I was a bit early with the dates.
Rollman produced drawings in Blue and yellow in 1853 and d'Almeida
projectedd anaglphs
in 1858. There are a number of sources for this and Ray Zone reminded me of
one

I have this book so I may have come across it there first but I had in mind
a book republished my the Magic lantern Society Of Britain . "Dates and
sources a prehistory of the Cinema". by Herman Hecht translated by Paul
Liesengang from the original German. This in turn gives the actual
references from the dates concerned which I will have to look up .
