What is a thaumatrope?
A thaumatrope is an optical toy that was popular in the 19th century. It is a two-sided disk with strings attached at its sides. Each side of the disk has an image on it. When the strings are twirled between the fingers, the two images appear to be one. A thaumatrope is considered an important forerunner in animation.
