First the sound of cogwheels emanates from this toy-like 19 th Century photographer. As he slowly comes to life, he turns his camera to a member of the audience and prepares to take a picture.

Two little doors open and out of the camera box pops a little whistling bird reminiscent of the old expression ‘look at the birdie’.
Then as a crowning moment, a spectacular little light and smoke flash comes from above the hand held flash as though the picture is being taken.

As the audience exclaim, the photographer freezes again.
