Description

An in-depth history of animation from 1898-1928 that includes accounts of mechanical ingenuity, marketing and art. The text explains techniques of sketching and camera work, and discusses the styles of such animators as Winsor McCay and Ladislas Starevitch, placing work in its social and economic context.

First Sentence

In December 1927 the New York humor magazine Life published a witty drawing that documents the average moviegoer's regard for animated cartoons at the dawn of the talkies (see figure 1, the frontispiece).
