Lot 137
A nursery lantern, attributed to Ernst Plank Co., along with a large collection of slides, in an ebonised and studded box, the magic lantern comes with a large variety of slides depicting various narratives including fairy tales and comic strips. For a full listing of slides please refer to the Fine Art office. Note: The Magic Lantern is one of the earliest forms of slide projection, the device dates back to the 17th Century. With the advent of photography during the mid nineteenth century it became possible to mass produce black and white images on glass, colour processes continued to be developed though remained largely unreliable causing many slides to be hand-painted or hand-tinted. The increased sophistication of both the lanterns themselves and of the glass slides allowed the appearance of movement and animation to appear with dissolving images, and movement created in part with moving layers of glass.

An early third period large brass lantern clock. The movement and frame attributed to the Fromanteel workshop, circa 1660, the dial later. The two train posted movement with heavily tapered arbors, double-cut hoop wheel, iron countwheel and conversion to anchor escapement with long pendulum and later motion work for two handed notation, the frame with ball feet, well-turned Doric corner columns and distinctive vase finials with four-stage graduated knopped caps, the current dial bearing signature Gibbon, London to the rose and tulip engraved centre within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with baton half hour markers, with later bell-bearer, foliate scroll cast and pierced frets, brass backplate and side doors, 44cm high, with an oak wall bracket, pendulum and weights. For examples by the Fromanteel family with comparable frame castings see White, George English Lantern Clocks figures III/22 (page 137), III/64 (page 155), IV/26 (page 175) and IV/59-61 (page 189). On page 148 White comments ‘Fromanteel’s large frames were exclusive to his workshop’. This large lantern clock retains many early features such as separately wound trains, heavily tapered arbors and iron countwheel, however evidence in the central bar of the movement and top plate indicates that this clock was originally made with verge escapement and short pendulum.
