Marvels Of Modern Science

The Zoetrope was a toy familiar to children; it was sometimes called the wheel of life. It was a contrivance consisting of a cylinder some ten inches wide, open at the top, around the lower and interior rim of which a series of related pictures were placed. The cylinder was then rapidly rotated and the spectator looking through the vertical narrow slits on its outer surface, could fancy that the pictures inside were moving.Severing, Paul is the author of 'Marvels Of Modern Science' with ISBN 9781419132957 and ISBN 1419132954.
