By Mike Smith
I am trying to track down an example of a musical box with
a praxinoscope on top for a research project I am undertaking.
Can you help?

[ "The Praxinoscope is a typical optical toy from the 19th century.
[ It consists of a cylinder and a strip of paper showing twelve frames
[ for animation. As the cylinder rotates, stationary mirrors in the
[ centre reveal a 'single image' in motion."
