Le Praxinoscope & le Zoetrope





I visited the Musée des Arts Décoratifs recently and was happy to see some praxinoscopes and zoetropes!

Hello,

I thought you might be interested to know about my new website, The Wheel of Life. The subject is 19th-century sequence-picture optical toys: zoetropes and such.

The Home page is here:

http://www.stephenherbert.co.uk/wheelHOME.htm

this links through to the main essays.

The Contents list is here:

http://www.stephenherbert.co.uk/wheelComing.htm

this links to other pages.

There’s lots still to do to get the basic website finished (links to image sources, more main essays, etc) and then I’ll try to add something every month.

I hope you enjoy The Wheel of Life as it develops, and I’m always pleased to hear comments, and learn new things about the subject.

Best wishes,

Stephen Herbert
