The first is the picture of a linear zoetrope aka the "Masstransiscope" that has been installed in a metro system.
The second picture is that of Peter Rogets (who is well known for the Roget's Thesauras) whose papers on optical illusion influenced the development of the zoetrope.
In September 1980, independent film-maker Bill Brand installed a type of linear zoetrope he called the “Masstransiscope” in an unused subway platform at Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
The invention of the thaumatrope is usually credited to either John Ayrton Paris or Peter Mark Roget.
