The Magic of Lantern Slides

Friday, Jul 6, 2012 10:00a to 5:00p

Exhibit of lantern slides, projectors, and advertising materials organized in conjunction with the Magic Lantern Society National Convention, which takes place June 21–24 in Tacoma. Lantern slide programs enthralled 19th-century audiences. A projector containing a candle or oil lamp would transmit and enlarge images from hand-painted glass slides onto a wall. A more modern version used an incandescent bulb as a light source and projected slides made from hand-tinted photographs.
