New fave site for communication technology history, visual studies, and general 17th-18th century goodness:
Jack & Beverly's Optical Toys displays their collection of devices, toys, and optical games, including a Thaumatrope, Zoetrope, Praxinoscope, Phenakistoscope, Flip Books, Peepshows, Dioramas, a Zograscope, Magic Lanterns, and graphics and slides. Bestill my beating neurasthenia!
(And if you go back into their main site there's even a section on phrenology!)
