EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 19th century with this fascinating print of Thaumatropes from 1881. The Boy's Own Paper featured these cut-out optical toys, which were a popular form of entertainment for children during this era.
Thaumatropes were simple yet ingenious devices consisting of a disc with different images on each side. When twirled quickly between the fingers, the two images would appear to blend together into one cohesive picture. In this particular image, we see a jester turning and spinning on the disc, creating a whimsical and merry scene.
These makeshift toys provided endless amusement for young boys in the late 1800s, offering a fun and interactive way to pass the time. The fold-out page from The Boy's Own Paper showcases the creativity and ingenuity of these early forms of entertainment.
As you gaze upon this piece from Mary Evans Prints Online, you can almost imagine the joy and wonder that these thaumatropes brought to children over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when even something as basic as a spinning disc could spark imagination and delight in young hearts.
