Praxinoscope (1877)

The praxinoscope, invented by French scientist Charles-Émile Reynaud, was a more sophisticated version of the zoetrope. It used the same basic mechanism of a strip of images placed on the inside of a spinning cylinder, but instead of viewing it through slits, it was viewed in a series of small, stationary mirrors around the inside of the cylinder, so that the animation would stay in place, and provide a clearer image and better quality. Reynaud also developed a larger version of the praxinoscope that could be projected onto a screen, called the Théâtre Optique.

As later on 1894 Reynaud Invention of the Praxinoscope developed, as his moving animation began to use hand drawn element. By experimenting his work of an animation he made called Autour une cabine.

As the background of the animation,of Autour une cabine was projected separately, as moving the figured charater was to be painted in an individual cells. Which had to be mounted onto a paper and leather band using to project the large Praxinoscope that had to be operated, using the mirror to create speed action of the scene.
