The Kinora was an early motion picture device, a form of mutoscope designed by Auguste and Louis Lumière and manufactured in London by Kinora Limited between about 1895 and 1914.
The Kinora worked very like a flip book or a Rolodex, using images which were conventional monochrome photographic prints fixed to strong, flexible cards attached to a circular core. As it was unable to project pictures, it could only be used by one or two people at a time, so was most suitable for home use. In the years before the First World War, the Kinora was the most popular medium for viewing home movies in Great Britain and Ireland.
The manufacturers, Kinora Ltd, developed the invention of the Lumieres. To begin with they supplied a range of moving picture reels produced from professional photographs, which could be bought or hired. Later, owners of a Kinora could have their own motion films produced by a professional photographer. Later still, beginning in 1908, the company supplied a special camera, accompanied by rolls of photographic paper or celluloid one inch wide, to enable people to make their own movies. These could be sent to the company for processing.
By 1914, when the company's London factory burned down, public interest in the Kinora had declined, at a time when the cinema screen held greater attractions. The company did not rebuild the lost factory.
