Created by photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge in 1879, it may be considered the first movie projector. The zoopraxiscope projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to give the impression of motion. The stop-motion images were initially painted onto the glass, as silhouettes. A second series of discs, made in 1892-1894, used outline drawings printed onto the discs photographically, then colored by hand. Some of the animated images are highly complex, featuring multiple combinations of sequences of animal and human movement;

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a zoopraxiscope disc from 1893, featuring men engaged in the noble art of boxing. Created by the visionary photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this lithograph is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the early days of motion pictures. The zoopraxiscope, invented by Muybridge in 1879, can be considered as one of the earliest movie projectors. It projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession, creating an illusion of movement. Initially, these stop-motion images were hand-painted onto the glass as silhouettes. However, later versions like this one utilized outline drawings that were photographically printed onto the discs and then meticulously colored by hand. What makes this particular series remarkable is its complexity. The animated sequences depict various combinations of animal and human movements with incredible detail and precision. This innovation not only showcased Muybridge's technical prowess but also served as inspiration for future advancements in film exhibition systems. Indeed, it appears that Thomas Edison and William Kennedy Dickson drew inspiration from Muybridge's zoopraxiscope when developing their own invention: the Kinetoscope—the first commercially successful film projection system. As we gaze upon this historic artifact captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days when pioneers like Muybridge paved the way for our modern cinematic experiences.
