Le Salut de Dickson est la première apparition publique de photographies en mouvement sur un support en nitrate de cellulose (celluloïd), support souple et fin inventé en 1887 par John Carbutt et commercialisée dès 1888 par l'industriel George Eastman sous la forme d'un ruban de 70 mm de large et dont la longueur est en principe sans limite, mettant fin au cycle court du jouet optique.
