Yes, Muybridge disk is shown below, but it is not in motion. I feel there should be a correctly animated GIF here. Please go to talk if you want to discuss. -- Janke | Talk 12:45, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
It's not broken, it's faulty, just as the caption says. It should show the pumping man as being stationary, not rolling around the disk. Compare with the Myubridge disk, which shows a working animation. A still of the pumping disk would be OK, though. -- Janke | Talk 09:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
This is how it would have looked. The whole image would not have rotated. The slits would have stayed in the same place as the images moved.
Can we add an actual picture of the device and not just the animated wheels? I'm thinking something similar to this: http://bigvriotsquad.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-phenakistoscope-november-22-2015.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tocksin ( talk • contribs) 11:59, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
I just restored the captions I added to the gallery. They were removed on the premise that images need no references. While this is a good point, the references were more for the year and the source. I put them there because the sources have more samples than just those in the gallery, and I wanted to give readers more access to them. Let's discuss before we decide how to proceed. — MiguelMunoz ( talk) 23:13, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

The phenakistiscope was the first widespread animation device that created a fluent illusion of motion. A series of pictures showing sequential phases of the animation are seen through small slots spaced evenly around the rim of a disc. The user would spin the disc and look through the moving slits at the images reflected in a mirror, seeing a rapid succession of images that appear to be a single moving picture. This animation shows one such phenakistiscope disc, entitled Running rats, created by Thomas Mann Baynes in 1833. Illustration credit: Thomas Mann Baynes; animated by Basile Morin
