Zoetrope

Zoetrope


"A zoetrope is a device that produces the illusion of motion from a rapid succession of still pictures.The zoetrope consists of a cylinder with slits cut into the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures.As the cylinder spins, you look through the slits at the pictures across and you see a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion."

(Oxford Dictionary 2014)
