'The Bottle' Set of eight slides after Cruickshank's series of engravings. Single hand-coloured glass slides in wooden frames, (7 x 4 x 3/8 inches). Maker unknown, but stamped 'J. Felton' on one end of each slide. *Notes- The original etchings of 'The Bottle' were produced by George Cruickshank in 1847 and they were linked with poetry by Charles Mackay. It caused a sensation as soon as they were published. Copies of the eight etchings warned about the potential dangers of alcohol consumption and sold more than 100,000 copies in the first few days. The theme inspired plays performed in eight London theatres, it is therefore no surprise that magic lantern showmen were quick to incorporate this popular topic into their shows.

In the eighteenth century it was considered an impossible feat and a prize was offered if it could be achieved. On the 8th August 1786 it was conquered by Jacques Balmat and Doctor Michael Paccard after two events. In the early 1850s Mont Blanc was once again in the public news .The Illustrated London News and other newspapers published accounts of two more successful climbs of the mountain. The most published one was that of noted showman, Albert Smith. He recreated the drama of his climb in an optical performance at the Egyptian Hall in Regents Park, London incorporating magic lantern slides.

Kaleidoscope slide [coloured fragments move randomly, projected with kaleidoscopic lens] Maker unknown (7 x 4 x 1/2 inches), single rack *Notes- Kaleidoscope slide would have created a changing pattern on the screen when a special lens with internal angled mirrors was exchanged with the usual lectern lens. Sir David Brewster had first invented the optical device in 1817 and a lantern version created changing patterns that were never repeated. Lecturers use this device to demonstrate the laws and phenomena of multiple refraction.

Colour wheel [rotates to show white] Maker unknown (9 3/8 x 3 7/8 x 1/2 inches), pulley *Notes- The colour wheel is a good example of the way the magic lantern could be a good instrument for scientific demonstration in the lecture theatre. In the 18th century Issac Newton produced a foot diameter cardboard disc on which he placed segments of five colours (red, orange, yellow, green and blue) equally spaced between five segments of black. When revolved at speed the colours merged and the disc became white, thus showing that the spectrum was made up of all these colours. This lantern version dates from circa,1850.
