Zoetrope, black base, supplied with 20 animated
strips. From the earliest scientific toys to modern cinema, we rely on the persistence of vision to make us believe that a series of static images is in motion.
In 1834, the English mathematician William George Horner proposed a device based on the phenakistoscope devised by Plateau and Stampfer (1830). It eliminated the need for a mirror and allowed several people to use the instrument and view the animated images at the same time – a major advance over the single viewer capacity of its predecessor.
