From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Moving picture \Moving picture\
      A series of pictures, usually photographs taken with a
      special machine, presented to the eye in very rapid
      succession, with some or all of the objects in the picture
      represented in slightly changed positions, producing, by
      persistence of vision, the optical effect of a continuous
      picture in which the objects move in some manner, as that of
      some original scene. The usual form of moving pictures is
      that produced by the cinematograph.
