Twelve feet long by a foot and a half wide, Figures Walking in a Parkland by Louis Carrogis, known as Carmontelle, was a forerunner of the modern motion picture. Revealed section by section through a hand-cranked viewing box, it delighted 18th-century audiences with its technological and artistic wizardry.
