HEMISFERIUM PRAXINOSCOPE Reproduction Antique Vintage Collectable NEW IN BOXThis is awesome, on a nice sturdy brass or metal stand, in mint condition.. only taken out of the box for photos.
The instructions are in Spanish, but I found this information on it:
This is a new in box, praxinoscope re-creation, all details are listed below and can be found via the original post on Etsy, these are 5
from the original seller, this is a hard item to get here. This is new and comes with many, many animation strips.
Our Praxinoscope is a beautiful reproduction of the incredible invention of the French Emile Reynaud.
How does the Praxinoscope work ? Very simple:
transforming static images into a moving sequence, thanks to retinal persistence.
A circular drum is rotated, whose mirrors located in the center reflect images drawn on strips of paper, around it. The viewer leans
over the instrument and can thus observe an animation of a sharp sequence, in which the images merge and the elements come to life.
This optical toy, with modernist decoration, is made of a solid metal base, on which the drum rotates in a smooth and balanced way,
with the 12 mirrors that produce the optical illusion.
