The Magic of Lantern Slides

An exhibit of lantern slides, projectors & advertising materials organized with the national convention of the Magic Lantern Society which takes place June 21–24 in Tacoma. Lantern slide programs enthralled 19th-century audiences. A projector containing a candle or oil lamp would transmit & enlarge images from hand-painted glass slides onto a wall. A modern version used incandescent bulbs & projected slides made from hand-tinted photographs. Organized by the Washington State Historical Society.
