The Kinetoscope is an early motion picture exhibition device invented by Thomas Edison and his assistant, William Kennedy Laurie Dickson, in the late 19th century. Developed in the early 1890s, it was designed for individual viewing of films. The Kinetoscope consists of a tall wooden cabinet with a window through which a viewer could look down at a series of moving images on a film strip, which was wound around rollers inside the machine.
