Gallop: A Scanimation Picture BookNatalie writes…

The book features a new technology called ‘Scanimation’ which makes the pictures move and come to life. This patented technology is based on the same principles as kinetoscopes and other old style techniques that employed an optical illusion.

With the Gallop! A Scanimation Picture Book by Rufus Butler Seder, there is a patented scrambled image underneath an acetate overlay of stripes that which has a horse galloping, a turtle swimming up the page, a dog running and much more.

£9.99 from Funky Bubba
