Happy Birthday #AnnieOakley! 🎉 This famous sharpshooter was the perfect subject to practice capturing rapid motion on #ThomasEdison's new kinetograph. These films of her rapidly firing targets and shooting down balls were among the earliest to be featured at kinetoscope parlors in New York in 1894! | Thomas Edison

The Kinetoscope is an early motion picture exhibition device. Though not a movie projector it was designed for films to be viewed individually through the window of a cabinet housing its components—the Kinetoscope introduced the basic approach that would become the standard for all cinematic projection before the advent of video: it creates the illusion of movement by conveying a strip of perforated film bearing sequential images over a light source with a high-speed shutter Stock Photo - Alamy
