Product description
This magic lantern, also known as a laterna magica, comes from a Belgian monastery and dates from around 1920.
A magic lantern is an early form of slide projector that projects images onto a wall or screen.
The device uses a light source (originally a candle or oil lamp, here the original incandescent bulb) that shines through a lens and a transparent glass slide containing an image.
This type of lantern was used for educational and entertainment purposes and is considered a precursor to the modern film projector.
!!! The lenses are COMPLETELY intact, no chips, scratches, or cracks. The lighting has also been tested and works. It has been kept in its original condition. However, it is highly recommended that the wiring and lamp be replaced if this object is to be used again.
Approximate dimensions and do not include the light source or lens (which are completely removable).
