Description: This small, 80 page book is a treasure of antique optical and kinetic toys. It covers the history and inventors of such toys as the thaumatrope, phenakistoscope, zoetrope, kaleidoscope, peepshow, changing slides, praxinoscope, and more. Many of the toys are shown in a photograph of a vintage item and then directions are given to make your own version of each of them. There is one color image of a zoetrope with reels and the balance of the book is printed in brown and red.

The book is pristine in an excellent dust jacket and would be of interest to antique toy collectors as well as those wishing to make optical and kinetic toys.

This item will be shipped from Maryland. It can be combined with other items shipped from Maryland to save on postage. Beverly will be your contact for this item.
