An Ernst Plank praxinoscope, 19th century, with additional image strips, 18 cm high, 41 cm wide, 11 cm deep. Other Notes: Ernst Plank & Company started out in 1866 in Nuremberg Germany as a toy-repair shop. Named after the company founder, they made magic lanterns, steam engines, die cast metal planes, boats, cars, steamboats and sewing machines produced from pressed tin plate. At one time it was the second largest manufacturer of magic lanterns. The company was located at Hochfederstrasse 40 in Nuremberg. Plank's toys were notable for their quality, often being ornate in design and more finely finished than other manufacturers of that era.
