Kineographs

Princeton Library flipbookThe Princeton Library blog has a nice post on the kineographs (flipbooks) in their collection. About the book to the left, they say “The Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company (better known as L&M) produced a brand of Turkish cigarettes under the name Fatima… In 1914, L&M released ten flipbooks under the theme of modern dance. ‘These moving picture booklets on the Dances of to-day … make it possible for all to know what the latest accepted dances are and how to dance them.'”
