Created by photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge in 1879, it may be considered the first movie projector. The zoopraxiscope projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to give the impression of motion. The stop-motion images were initially painted onto the glass, as silhouettes. A second series of discs, made in 1892-1894, used outline drawings printed onto the discs photographically, then colored by hand. Some of the animated images are highly complex, featuring multiple combinations of sequences of animal and human movement;
The device appears to have been one of the primary inspirations for Thomas Edison and William Kennedy Dicksons Kinetoscope, the first commercial film exhibition system; ); Prismatic Pictures; English, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a zoopraxiscope disc from 1893, depicting a couple gracefully waltzing. Created by the renowned photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge, this lithograph is an early example of motion picture display devices. The zoopraxiscope can be considered as the precursor to modern-day movie projectors and was invented by Muybridge in 1879. Operating through rotating glass disks, the zoopraxiscope projected images rapidly in succession, creating the illusion of movement. Initially, these stop-motion images were hand-painted silhouettes on glass. However, a second series of discs produced between 1892-1894 featured outline drawings that were printed photographically onto the disks and then meticulously colored by hand. The complexity of some animated sequences within these discs is truly remarkable, showcasing various combinations of animal and human movements. This innovation greatly influenced Thomas Edison and William Kennedy Dickson's creation of the Kinetoscope - one of the first commercial film exhibition systems. In this particular image captured on a lithograph from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we witness a mesmerizing moment frozen in time: two individuals engaged in an elegant waltz. It serves as both a testament to Muybridge's groundbreaking work and an intriguing glimpse into our fascination with capturing and replicating movement through visual mediums throughout history.
