The Hand of the Artist is a 1906 British short silent trick film, directed by Walter R. Booth, featuring the director's hand bringing to life photographic images of a young man and woman only for each sequence to end in them being crumpled up. The film features stop-action substitution to achieve its effect and has erroneously been described as the first British animated film.[1][2]
