The magic lantern was the ancestor of the modern slide projector.
Title slide from Scrub, the Workhouse Boy.
There was a huge market for lantern slides in the 19th Century.
Projectionists put on shows all over the country with magic lanterns.
The photographic image was sandwiched between two plates of glass.
The collection is rare as so few lantern slides have survived.
