The Cotsen Children's Library, Dept. of Rare Books & Special Collections at Princeton University is a specialist library offering many historical themes including pre cinema.

Thomas McLean never gave his version of the Phénakisticope his own name.

The artist for most of his discs was popular London caricaturist Robert Seymour who was also the illustrator for Dickens's Pickwick Papers. -30- https://t.co/rScD2j2UvH

The Phénakisticope disc was designed to be spun on a spindle, and observed in a mirror.

Thomas McLean was a printer & publisher in the London Haymarket who specialized in political caricatures.

All animations are from Thomas McLean's ‘Optical Illusions. https://t.co/RNhB97ZlGJ

McLean's ‘Optical Illusions,’ were sold as a boxed set of 12 hand-coloured lithograph 24cm discs.

A jockey on horseback, a dancing couple, a leaping horse, a juggler, an equestrian, a woman beating a man, a girl on a swing, were the standard carte du jour. https://t.co/63FAJZgJsq

The extant ‘Panorama of Garibaldi’ is 273’ long, a double-sided watercolour & one of the longest 'Panorama' paintings in the world.

On 101 of the 106 leaves there is an illustration on the recto & verso, in the upper half of each, i.e., every single stanza of the story was illustrated.

And when you fan through the drawings quickly, it presents as a late 1800s ‘Flip Book’.

Modern digitisation helps. https://t.co/4qLG8yz9o1

The Codex Germanicus 67 manuscript restoration began in 1962 by Hans Heiland's Stuttgart workshop.

All the leaves suffered from severe decay on the green-coloured passages in the miniatures (images).

The restoration has been miraculous. https://t.co/SYesLlT6mq
