MODERNIST PRAXINOSCOPE - BLACK FILM POSTERS no one has ever producedOptical Toy, Praxinoscope Miniature Reproduction Transforms static images into a moving sequence, thanks to retinal persistence. A circular drum is rotated with mirrors in the centre of the drum reflecting images drawn on strips of paper placed around it. The spectator looks over the instrument and can thus observe an animation of a clear sequence, in which the images merge and the elements come to life. Who invented the Praxinoscope? Emile Reynaud
