Praxinoscopes and Lover's eyes


"Action viewer" the Praxinoscope was an old animation device


a strip of pictures were placed around a spinning cylinder

what old world charm


and Lover's eyes (which I believe a more charming term than eye miniature as they were also known) were all the rage during Georgian times, miniature watercolour paintings of the eyes of loved ones worn an jewellery or used as pendants 


Some old world customs seem to make much more sense than some of the strange ones we have today

Slenderman


A fittingly bizarre personification of the whole of the internets which can be a strange strange place
