In 1876 in inventor called Charles-Emile Reynaud a device called the 'Praxinoscope', which is like the Zoetrope, has a cylinder and inside it it has a strip of 12 images which when spun shows an animation. To see the animation you have to look at the mirrors inside the cylinder which reflects the 12 images to create to illusion of movement.The name Praxinoscope actually came from two Greek words which are praxis, meaning action and the word scopein, meaning to look at.
