HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND CINEMA The "toy" called thaumatropium, described by the British physicist dr. John Ayrton Paris (1785 - 24 December 1856), exploits the phenomenon of the persistence of the image on the retina to amaze the young, but also the adults of the early nineteenth century, completing "magically" the half images found on the two faces of a cardboard disk (see the other side in # 41304). When the cords are rotated quickly with the fingers, the two images seem to merge into one. In the figure above the horse appears the acrobat, in the center the wig covers the head of the bald, at the bottom the cage encloses the bird. United Kingdom, 1825
