The Phenakistoscope

The phenakistoscope usually comes in the form of a spinning cardboard disc connected to a handle. Around the disc's center are a series of pictures showing sequential phases of the animation. Small rectangular slits are spaced evenly around the end of the disc. The user would spin the disc and look through the moving slits at the images reflected in a mirror. Scanning the slits across the reflected images keeps them from simply blurring together, so that the user can see a rapid succession of images that appear to be a single moving picture.
