Here are some animations from optical toys in the collection
A simple flick book animation depicting a milk drop falling:
And another depicting the construction of the Empire State Building in New York:
Images from a Zoetrope:
And the Praxinosope, similar to the Zoetrope but makes use of mirrors:
A flick book kineograph depicting a see-saw scene:
And a simple animation showing three soldiers having their heads cut off with bayonets:
Whilst the museum does not have an original of Papillon to hand, the model depicts a
rather beautiful animation of a pair of butterflies:
