The Theatre Optique was a moving picture show presented by Charles-Emile Reynaud in 1892. It was the first presentation of projected moving images to an audience, predating Auguste and Louis Lumiere's first public performance by three years. In 1876, Reynaud, a French inventor, had created the Praxinoscope, an improvement of the Zoetrope. In 1878 he produced the Praxinoscope Theatre.
