Mutoscopes are early animation devices developed in the late 19th century. They consisted of hundreds of frames on printed cards, attached to a rotary drum. These coin-operated machines sent still images into a moving animation that could be privately viewed by peering into a viewing glass. Because of the seclusion of the animations hidden within the machine, these devices made ideal vessels for pornographic content.
