La Toupie Fantoches

Regular price €35,00

La Toupie fantoches is an optical toy invented by Emile Reyanaud in 1881. It´s a modification of his first invention: the praxinoscope. La Toupie fantoches consists of four triangulars mirrors that form a pyramid. In the vertex the discs are placed, in such a way every drawing stays opposite every mirror. When turning the drawing seemed to summon up life.


Eight discs are accompanying the instrument with illustrations of the time
