Zoetrope and Praxinoscope animation styles drums were originally developed in 1830s by William George Horner. The praxinoscope was developed by Charles-Emile Reynaud in 1877, then later Eadweard Muybridge in late 1870s develped the motion photography and the zoopraxinoscope, which was important for cinema.
