Synopsis

Excerpt from The Book of the Lantern: Being a Practical Guide to the Working of the Optical (or Magic) Lantern; With Full and Precise Directions for Making and Colouring Lantern Pictures

But during the past few years, the number of those who interest themselves in the lantern and its capabilities has been vastly increased by the sudden popularity of the art of photography. Amateur photographers are now to be found in every town in the kingdom, and they are beginning to find out that there is no better method of showing their friends the pictures which they have taken than by means of the Optical lantern. The same instrument, too, as it offers a means of making permanent enlarged copies of small photographs, serves with them a double purpose.
