Another design combined two zoetropes with Charles Wheatstone's reflecting stereoscope in between.Mannoni, Laurent The Great Art of Light and Shadow (2000 translation by Crangle) Births February February 7: Alexander Black, American photographer, inventor, and writer (presented the magic lantern show Life through a Detective Camera(alternately titled Ourselves as Others See Us); created the pre-film "Picture Play" Miss Jerry, a series of posed magic lantern slides projected onto a screen with a dissolving stereopticon, accompanied by narration and music.
