From the late 1890s until 1914 it was fashionable to have one's portrait taken as a moving image; smoking a cigarette, eating an apple, or blowing kisses to the camera. The film was transferred to a "flip book" or "Mutoscope reel", usually for home viewing. The more famous subjects (Princes Edward and Albert, and Princess Victoria for instance), found themselves being sold as moving-image novelties. Stephen Herbert tells the history of these fascinating "animated portraits".
