Framed Print of Electrotachyscope, Animated Picture Machine, 1889
Ottomar Anschutz (May 16, 1846 - May 30, 1907) was a German inventor, photographer, and chronophotographer. He invented 1/1000 of a second shutter, and the electrotachyscope in 1887. The electrotachyscope was a disk of 24 glass diapositives, manually powered, and illuminated by a sparking spiral Geissler tube, used by a single viewer, or projected to a small group. It gave the illusion of motion with transparent serial photographs, chronophotographs, arranged on a spinning wheel of fortune, and is considered significant as a technological development in the history of cinema. It was first publicly demonstrated at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. His 1884 albumen photography of storks inspired aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal's experimental gliders in the late 1880s. He died in 1907 at the age of 61. Illustration is taken from the journal Scientific American, dated November 16, 1889. © New York Public Library / Science Source
