The Hand of the Artist is a 1906 British short silent animated comedy 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 early use of stop action[1] to achieve its effect and had been described as the first British animated film.[2] It survives as part of the Corrick Collection of the Corrick family entertainers who toured Australia and the world between 1901 and 1914.[3][4]
