Description
“The magic lantern is an early version of a slide or movie projector. Beginning in the 1670s through the early 1900s, these projectors turned a small picture painted on glass into a larger image. Using an oil lamp and a wall or white sheet, the projected pictures tell a story. This small projector provided family entertainment about 1890.” The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, IMCPL Digital Collection.
