Paul ROGET - Thaumatrope

-->
Paul Roget invented the Thaumatrope. A Thaumatrope is a toy that was popular in Victorian times. A disk or card with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to combine into a single image due to persistence of vision.
