The Praxinoscope theater was invented by Emile Reynaud in 1879. This device uses the same system that Praxinoscope to animate images, a sort of zoetrope, replacing the drum slots for the mirrors inside. The difference with this Praxinoscope is the moving images are seen through a glass that reflects a latent image of a minuature stage with its scenery, in the middle of witch the image moved.
