SUMMARY:Before Zoom: Cinema\, the Zoetrope\, and other Optical Devices
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the latest webinar in Princeton University 
 Library's Special Collections Highlights Series.\n\nJulie Mellby\, Graphic 
 Arts Curator\, offers a captivating tour of Princeton University Library's 
 collection of pre-cinema optical devices\, rare artifacts designed for 
 shared public entertainment or personal moments of wonder leading up to the 
 invention of the motion picture. \n\nThrough a series of live webcams\, we 
 will attempt to reproduce the phantasmagoria experienced in the past as we 
 peer into 18th-century peepshows\, twirl phenakistoscopes\, open a gigantic 
 megalethoscope\, and crank a miniature cinematograph. Feel the sense of 
 wonder as still images come to life\, turning day to night\, causing 
 volcanoes to erupt\, and conjuring faces to rise from anamorphic chaos. 
 \n\nChristopher Collier\, Executive Director at Renew Theaters\, and Jesse 
 Crooks\, Operations Director and Head Projectionist\, will share some of 
 the history and treasures of Princeton Garden Theater.\n\nRegister by 
 clicking the black "Begin Registration" box below.\n\n \n\n
