The Mutoscope is a 19th Century invention - basically it is a mechanical flipbook containing frames of animation which flip through at speed when you crank the handle. This tricks the eye into seeing motion, the same effect as a flipbook!
This kit allows you to build your very own Mutoscope and watch the included animation come to life! It is beautifully self referencing - the animated picture that appears when you turn the handle shows a blue bird walking along and looking into... a Mutoscope!
