An amazing collection of (20) antique glass magic lantern slides. The magic lantern was an early type of projection system that used pictures or paintings on glass slides to project images, some with rudimentary movement on a wall used for entertainment and educational purposes. Developed in the 17th century, the magic lantern was most commonly used from the 18th century to the mid-19th century, when it was replaced by the slide projector. These slides have images of landscapes, animals, and comics. One (1) slide is broken and some have paint chips. Shipping - Yes
