1890 Magic Lantern Construction
Hollywood Film Movies precursor Photography
The magic lantern was an early type of image projector employing
pictures painted, printed or produced photographically on transparent plates
(usually made of glass), one or more lenses, and a light source. Since the late
19th-century smaller versions were also mass-produced as a toy for
children. The magic lantern was in wide use from the 18th century until the
mid-20th -century, when it was superseded by a compact version that
could hold many 35 mm photographic slides: the slide projector.
“The Magic Lantern,” featured
here in the original orange cloth binding, is filled with illustrations
depicting different projectors and the interior construction of such devices.
