the Zoetrope is a type of Optical device, it was made in 1834 by William Horner who originally called it Daedalum meaning "wheel of the devil". The way you would use this toy would be to make a film like sheet of paper fitting in the wheel with slim movements of you pictures, for instance a person running, the steps would be little movements of the person in action. After you have drawn this sheet of "film" you then place it in the Zoetrope and look through one of the little strips to see the movement of the person. This toy was very popular in the middle 1800's and now a days is you found a Zoetrope I think you would find it very amusing too.
