Optical Toys
These Optical Toys are just the beginnings of a story of almost two centuries, from mid 19th century to our days: The Cinema History. They were the result of optical experiments, photography development, and perception studies. They have led us to film and cinema development. In the end, cinema is the technique that offers the impression of movement to the public. In their time, they made their way from scientific offices to public entertainment and to wealthy people's homes. They have kept their fascination and enchantment for all ages!
