Zoetrope, 1920-1950
01
Artifact Overview
A zoetrope produces the illusion of motion through a series of images placed on the interior wall of a cylinder. As the cylinder turns, viewers look through the vertical slits. The images -- each one slightly different from the one previous -- blur together as the cylinder rotates and create the appearance of movement.
