Stereo-kinematographic viewing apparatus, 'Wheatstone's Moving Picture Viewer', holding a reel of stereoscopic images of a steam engine (albumen prints), plus two strips of stereo photographs showing a soldier drilling, presenting arms, framed.

Invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875), the scientist who put forward the principle of the stereoscope, this device contained a band of stereoscopic photographs, posed to simulate movement, fitted around a drum. The drum was rotated intermittently, giving the viewer an impression of movement.
