Answer: This is the illustration of what we now call Rotoscoping, from Max Fleischer’s original patent of the technique. It was used by Jordan Mechner in animating the original Prince of Persia, and more recently in A Scanner Darkly. (I choose these two because that’s an awesome game and the other is an awesome movie. ’nuff said)

This picture depicts the patent drawing of Max Fleischer's original rotoscope. He found a method to produce animations more efficiently and economically, and thus came up with 'method of producing moving picture cartoons' in 1915 and patented in 1917.
