One of Lillian Gish’s best performances was in ‘The Wind’ (1928), where Victor Sjöström makes the wind a constant presence that slowly wears her down, and she doesn’t need a single line of dialogue to show it, because her eyes say it all. A masterpiece of silent cinema.

The letter that gave us the name ‘Jack the Ripper’ was almost certainly written by a journalist.
But when we filmed it at the National Archives, a criminologist asked me a very good question: in a crowded East End, why did nobody ever come forward with any reasonable leads for who the killer really was?
His answer couldn't be included in our documentary, but I think I can finally share it with you here 👇

In 1790 Séraphin introduced moving Articulated Iron Shadows during the Revolution.

Pictured is a Donkey shaking his head, opening his mouth, and walking. Automaton-esque moving entertainment.

THE SMICROSCOPIN DISK OF 1671
Preceding the revolving disks of the 19th century, Kircher included his own illustration of a peculiar mechanism for presenting graphic stories in spherical form in the 1671 edition of his Ars Magna.

He referred to this as a Smicroscopin.

The Smicroscopin was a visual storytelling device that used a circular surface holding a sequence of pictures to narrate a story.

1820
OMBRASCOPES AND WHITE SHADOWS
The Ombrascope falls within a multitude of Victorian pre cinema optical toys closely related to Shadow Puppetry.

So much so they could be kissing cousins.
Image the François Binétruy Collection. In the early 1800s, such devices were typically used in domestic settings or small gatherings to cast Silhouettes or shadow figures onto a surface, often using candlelight or early oil lamps.

They were part of the broader fascination with optics and visual effects during the Regency period, aligning with the development of other pre cinematic technologies.

For example, Shadow Plays or ‘ombres chinoises’ (Chinese shadows) were popular in Europe, and an Ombrascope might have been a specific tool or toy marketed for creating very similar effects, possibly involving cutout figures or translucent cards.
