Krijgsbeweging 1833 - 1900

"Krijgsbeweging," created by Glenisson & Zonen between 1833 and 1900, is a hand-colored lithograph depicting a series of four horsemen in various stages of galloping. The print is a fascinating early example of a zoetrope, a pre-cinematic device used to create the illusion of movement. The artist, Glenisson & Zonen, is known for their work in lithography, making intricate images to be used with this popular Victorian toy. The work is part of the genre of pre-cinematic animation, a form of early filmmaking that captured the imagination of audiences before the advent of moving pictures.
