History of the Zoetrope


The Zoetrope produces the illusion of movement by viewing each individual image through the narrow slits in a cylinder that rotates. The Zoetrope was created and named Doedaleum in 1833 by and English mathematician named William George Horner (1786-1837). 

William F Lincoln then decided to re name the Doedaleum;- the Zoetrope in 1887, in the USA. However, in England, the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company sold a number of Wheel of Life or Zoetrope models.
