History of zoetrope

A zoetrope is one of several pre‑film animation devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or photographs showing progressive phases of that motion.. We had to make one of these by drawing 12 images 6 of these must be a continuous image moving then the other 6 have to be identical this is to give the illusion of continuous movement. The zoetrope is one of several animation toys which were invented in the
19th century, as people experimented with ways to make moving pictures.  
The zoetrope appeared first in England in 1834, then France in 1860 and
finally the United States in 1867. The "Daedatelum" was invented by William 
George Horner in 1834 and renamed "Zoetrope" by French inventor, Pierre Desvignes. In "zoetrope" you might recognize the root word "zoo" from a Greek word meaning animal or life. "Trope" is also from Greek and refers to things that turn.
