Praxinoscope
Invented in 1877 by the Frenchman Charles-Emile Reynaud, the praxinoscope was the first device to overcome the picture distortion caused by viewing images through moving slots. Instead, these were reflected in a circle of mirrors clustered around the centre of the drum. the praxinoscope quickly replaced the zoetrope in popularity.
