The Thaumatrope:
The Thaumatrope was a very popular toy in the victory era it was created in 1824. Basically all it was, was a piece of card or paper with two different images on each side and with two pieces of string on the ends and when it was spun at a fast pace the images looked like one. The Modern Greek word for the Thaumatrope means “wonder turner”
The Zoetrope:
The Zoetrope is a cylinder with vertical slits down the sides and beneath them were pictures of individual images shows different movements it was made in 1834. And when spun at a fast speed a person looks through the slits pictures appear to be moving. The word Zoetrope means “wheel of life”
The flipbook:
The flipbook is pieces of paper stuck together at the top with a series of pictures each with individual movements so that when the pages are flipped rapidly the images appear to be animated. They rely on persistence of vision. It was first done in 1868. Rather than the viewer reading left to right the viewer stares at the same location.
The Praxinoscope:
The Praxinoscope was the successor to the Zoetrope it was invented in 1877. It used a cylinder with pictures on the inner surface of the cylinder. It replaced the slits with an inner circle of mirrors, so that the reflection of the images appears more stationary in position. So that when the person looked into the mirrors they would see a succession of images producing motion. The word comes from the Greek meaning “action viewer”
The Phenakistoscope:
The Phenakistoscope is the predecessor of the Zoetrope. It was invented in 1831. It was a disc mounted vertically on a handle around the disc pictures were drawn that were corresponding to frames of animation. The disc was spun and the viewer would look through the moving slits and look at the disc’s reflection in a mirror. The word comes from the Greek word “to cheat” at it deceives the eye in to thinking that the pictures are moving.
