The Kinora was an early means of viewing moving images by using a flip-book technique on a series of black and white still photographs on card. They were used in a viewer machine that was designed for home use by one person at a time, and a lens enlarged the image for viewing.
Introduced in France by the Lumière brothers in 1895, it was launched in Britain in 1902 by The British Mutoscope & Biograph Co. Ltd. and eventually 600 reels were available.
