About the Artwork

Pantomimes Lumineuses was a moving picture show by Charles-Émile Reynaud which featured the first projected animated cartoons. Reynaud was the inventor of the praxinoscope, a lantern-powered projector that used a rotating circle of mirrors to give the effect of figures in motion. Pantomimes Lumineuses included three animations, each consisting of 500 to 600 individually painted images, lasting about 15 minutes in total. His show predated the Lumière Brothers' first public performance and was witnessed by over 500,000 people during the course of its eight year run.
