The first flip book animation, patented by James Barnes Linnett with the name kineograph, came out in September 1868.

Charles-Émile Reynaud invented the praxinoscope in January 1877. To make it, strips of paper were placed on the inside of a circle and mirrors were placed on the outside of another circle inside the original. When the exterior circle is spun, the picture appears to be moving. The praxinoscope is an improved version of the zoetrope.
