Descriptive Information

Title
Slide, Magic Lantern
Description
  • a fourth figure--a boy--wears a yellow double breasted coat, a round hat and carries an umbrella. A fifth figure, a girl wears a bonnet, a blue scarf and has her hands in her pockets.
  • a third figure--a girl--wears a straw hat with flowers, a blue dress with a white pinafore and carries a basket
  • the second, in profile, wears a long coat, a blue feathered hat and holds a doll in his/her hand
  • A rectangular glass slide depicting five children. The first looks at the viewer full face, wears a ruffled collar and holds a whip behind his back
Interpretation
Magic Lanterns were projectors which made a small, handpainted image project on a large screen. Shows were held in theatres; children had toy magic lanterns as well. This slide shows children enjoying themselves and was surely meant for children's entertainment. This slide shows children in grown up dress and was surely meant to amuse children.
