EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable sculpture displayed at the Musee Grevin in Paris, France. The artwork is titled "Optical Theatre by Emile Raynaud (The praxinoscope - mirror cylinder that gives the illusion of movement)" and was created by talented sculptors Georges MeliAs, Gabriel Thomas, and Reynaud. The sculpture depicts a praxinoscope, an ingenious invention that revolutionized early cinema. A mirror cylinder within the device creates an illusion of movement when viewed through its slits. This optical theatre allowed people to witness moving images long before motion pictures came into existence. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this wax sculpture showcases the intricate carvings and delicate features of the praxinoscope. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its creators. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this image beautifully captures both the artistry of the sculpture itself and the historical significance it represents. The monochrome tones add depth and texture to every intricately carved detail. Displayed in one of Paris' most renowned museums dedicated to preserving artifacts from La Belle Epoque era, this photograph immortalizes an important piece of cinematic history for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
