EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a Folioscope, an intriguing precursor to the cinema that emerged in 1896. Known more commonly as a flicker-book, this simple yet ingenious device relied on the rapid succession of images to create the illusion of movement. The Folioscope consisted of a series of cards or pages, each bearing a different figure or scene, which were turned with sufficient rapidity to produce a flickering effect. The optical illusion created by the quick succession of images was a source of fascination for many during this era, offering a glimpse into the world of moving pictures before the advent of projectors. The Folioscope was a popular form of entertainment, providing an affordable and accessible way for people to experience the magic of moving figures in the comfort of their own homes. This photograph, taken in 1896, captures the essence of this early form of visual storytelling, showcasing the Folioscope in all its simplicity and charm.
