The Magic Lantern - AstroMedia
Elegant AstroMedia cardboard replica of one of those magic lanterns with which images can be projected.
From the 17th century until the beginning of the cinema age, the magic lantern made a tremendously strong impression on spectators in fairground booths, salons or children's rooms. Until the triumph of the slide and film projector in the last century, the "magic lantern" was the only way to project moving images.
Nothing has changed in its design principle since then, except that today the images are obtained photographically and the light comes from an electric bulb.
