EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Projecting Praxinoscope, an optical device invented by Léon Fernand Marius Régnault in 1882. An adaptation of the original Praxinoscope, this innovative contraption allowed for the projection of moving images onto a screen, marking a significant milestone in the history of cinema. The Praxinoscope, first introduced in 1877, was an early animation device that used a series of glass disks with painted images on their concave surfaces. When the disks were spun, the images appeared to move due to the persistence of vision. Régnault's Projecting Praxinoscope took this concept a step further by projecting these moving images onto a screen, making the animation more accessible and enjoyable for larger audiences. The Projecting Praxinoscope consisted of a light source, a lens, and a rotating drum containing the Praxinoscope disks. The light passed through the lens and illuminated the images on the disks, projecting them onto a white screen. This simple yet groundbreaking invention laid the foundation for the development of more sophisticated projection technologies, such as the Thaumatrope, Zoetrope, and eventually the cinematograph. Although this image does not depict the Projecting Praxinoscope in a large hall setting, it is worth noting that Régnault would later adapt this device for such performances. These public screenings of moving images in large halls marked the beginning of a new era in entertainment and paved the way for the modern cinema industry. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of moving image technology and the pioneering spirit of inventors like Léon Fernand Marius Régnault. The Projecting Praxinoscope represents a crucial moment in the evolution of cinema, bridging the gap between static images and the dynamic, engaging medium we know today.
