Exploring the Magic of the Phenakistoscope from 1832

A circular, segmented illustration shows multiple identical figures of a rider on a horse arranged around the perimeter, each in a different phase of galloping motion. At the center is a yellow sunburst surrounded by black silhouettes of dancing or leaping figures. The artwork resembles a traditional or historical depiction, possibly from a Native American or similar cultural context, rendered in earthy tones on a cream background.
