A mutoscope works on the same principle as a "flip-book" where you flip through the pages of a book and drawings on each page seem to be in motion like an animated cartoon.
The original mutoscopes had a series of photos attached to a wheel. You looked in a peephole at the top and by turning a handle, spun the wheel so that the flicking pictures appeared to be moving.
