Praxinoscope
Object description:
Praxinoscope. Spiegel zoetrope.
Invented by É. Reynaud in 1877, it was an improvement of the zoetrope. The slots were substituted by rectangular mirrors placed on the inside of the drum that reflected the images on the strip, giving the sensation of a slower, more paused movement that was better illuminated than the zoetrope, since it eliminated the time of the shutter effect.
