or Phantascope, (not to be confused with
the Phantoscopes of Jenkins or Robertson)
has been described as a combination of the works of Beale (the
Choreutoscope, SEE BEALE
1872, and SEE MOLTENI 1865),
Brown ( the Uchatius Lantern Wheel of Light SEE
BROWN 1869), and Wheatstone (Stereoscopes,
SEE WHEATSTONE 1838).
Rudge's version was considered the most fluid of pictures to
date due in part to the intermittent movement between frames.

The
Phantascope consisted
of seven photographic slides, which were all posed. The subject
appeared to remove his own head from off his shoulders through
the tricky work of the photographer or darkroom shenanigans.Rudge used a circular lamp surrounded by a revolving drum which
when turned quickly by a handle-crank, the slides would equally
turn quite fast giving the appearance of the ghostly deed.
years from now Rudge will be introduced to William Friese-Greene
who will be intrigued by what he saw from Rudge's work, and
will be ultimately influenced. Still later, Rudge manufactured
another lantern; this one containing four lenses each projecting
a photo-slide in sequence. Motion was imitated by a mirrored-shutter
redirecting the light source onto each slide as it passed.
In one of the slide series, Friese-Greene played the part of
subject. The Phantascope was also called the
Biophantic.
