Nancy - The Automaton
Loading...
Uploaded by 69mechanik on May 12, 2007
Nancy is on Facebook, her name: "Nancy Animata" she welcomes friend requests!
A late 19th century stage automaton, designed to be driven by a hand crank from under the stage. She is larger than life. Made of Papier Mache, she moves her eyes, eyelids, head turn and nod, heaving chest, bend at waist, cross legs, both arms and right wrist. Nancy is sewing!
I have photos of Nancy's restoration on the House of Automata website http://www.thehouseofautomata.com

For eternity you will smile and sit...

That is amazing! That would be soooo creepy to see in real life nowadays, let alone in the 19th century!

@electronic4evr
Nancy has reverted to her maiden name of "Animata". A search on facebook for "Nancy Animata" should turn up trumps.
