Praxinoscope
The praxinoscope was a toy that converted still pictures into moving pictures. It consisted of a Praxinoscope lamp surrounded by a ring of still pictures showing an object in different stages of movement. Each picture faced a mirror. By turning a handle, the ring could be turned fast enough so that the reflections in the mirror would merge, and it would look as though the object was moving.
