Artifact"The Busy World" Automaton, 1830-1850
"Automaton" generally refers to a non-electric moving machine that performs a predetermined set of operations. This automaton wagon, "The Busy World," features 365 carved wooden figures (some with racially stereotyped features) moving in six different scenes. Settings include a military parade, a factory, a dance hall, and various Bible stories. The wagon's lively, hand-cranked animations entertained children and adults alike at fairs and special exhibits.
