	Zooprax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The original zoopraxiscope for 16 inch discs had a set of removable shutters with different numbers of slots, for producing various motion effects.
		The original packing crate which contained part of the zoopraxiscope, had on the underside of the lid a chart, drawn by Muybridge, of the sizes of projected images he could achieve with different lenses at different distances from a screen.
		This surviving Zoopraxiscope is the 'jewel in the crown' of the Kingston Muybridge Collection.

		These attitudes, however, the operator asserts to be the true and natural ones; while, on the other hand, he as stoutly asserts that the accepted, conventional, traditional, and artistic rendering of the movements of the horse are, and have been (with a few Greek exceptions), altogether false amid unnatural these forty centuries since.
		After the horses, dogs, oxen, wild bulls, and deer were shown under analogous conditions of varied movement, and finally Man appeared (in instantaneous photography) on the scene, and walked, ran, leaped, and turned back-somersaults to admiration.
		Nevertheless, if’ a proper interpretation is given, the eye at once rebels; and on examination of such a figure, founded on perfectly correct principles, the mind refuses to assent to the idea of great pace, which is that which is intended to be given.’

		These lectures were illustrated with a zoopraxiscope, a lantern he developed that projected images in rapid succession onto a screen from photographs printed on a rotating glass disc, producing the illusion of moving pictures.
		The zoopraxiscope display, an important predecessor of the modern cinema, was a sensation at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.

		Eadweard Muybridge had two zoopraxiscope mechanisms (the earlier version was originally called the zoogyroscope).
		It also has a facility for extending the two lenses and thereby allowing for a mechanism to be placed between the light source and the lenses.
		It is possible that this adapted lantern may have doubled-up as a second zoopraxiscope.

		The zoopraxiscope (pronounced ZOH-uh-PRACKS-uh-scohp), invented by British photographer Eadweard Muybridge and first shown in 1879, was a primitive motion picture device that worked by showing a sequence of still photographs in rapid succession.
		The zoopraxiscope emerged out of his studies of motion as shown in sequences of still photographs.
		A century from now, web-based art from this period will be seen as the "zoopraxiscope" of the medium.

		To animate his motion studies for audiences at his lectures, Muybridge invented a machine called a zoopraxiscope.
		Illustrations of his photographs of human and animal locomotion were drawn and reproduced on glass plates used in the machine.
		In 1893, Muybridge opened the Zoopraxigraphical Hall, on the Midway of the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, for presentations using the zoopraxiscope.

		Largely at the instigation of the painter, Thomas Eakins, who had conducted similar photographic experiments, he was invited to continue his work in Philadelphia under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania.
		It was a direct descendant of the zoopraxiscope and Edison, in a letter dated 1925 to the Society of Motion-Picture Engineers, wrote that the germ of his idea for moving' pictures "came from a little toy called the zoetrope and the work of Muybridge, Marey, and others."
		He was the first to admit that his technique had been superseded, and to give credit to Edison for his perfection of the zoopraxiscope.

	Thomas Edison
		Thomas Edison's interest in motion pictures began before 1888, however, the visit of Eadweard Muybridge to his laboratory in West Orange in February of that year certainly stimulated his resolve to invent a camera for motion pictures.
		Although apparently intrigued, Edison decided not to participate in such a partnership, perhaps realizing that the Zoopraxiscope was not a very practical or efficient way of recording motion.
		Additionally, there was the Zoopraxiscope, developed by photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1879, which projected a series of images in successive phases of movement.

		This device was created at the urging of one-time governor Leland Stanford, to satisfy his curiosity about whether his racing horses ever got all four feet off the ground when running.
