Crankie box theater, also known as a moving panorama, is a visual storytelling art form with roots in the 19th century, using a scroll of illustrations cranked by hand through a viewing box. The term "crankie" was later coined by Peter Schuman of the Bread and Puppet Theatre. Historically, these devices evolved from the hand-rolled story scrolls of earlier times and allowed for the creation of moving, illustrated narratives that could be accompanied by music and shadow puppetry. #artshow #visual
