Anotations

Scope note:

Animated peepshow machines based on the flip-book principle; popular from the 1890s until around 1910. These early motion picture devices, upright and typically coin-operated were designed for individual viewing. As the handle of the mutoscope is turned, photographs placed around a central hub inside the device flip to give the illusion of continuous motion. For the cylindrical slitted viewer, use zoetropes.
