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.
