David Robinson (compiler), The Lantern Image: Iconography of the Magic Lantern. Supplement no. 2

London: Magic Lantern Society, 2009

ISBN 978-0-9510441-7-9

32 pages, paperback, 23 x 23cm

Uniform in format with the main volume of The Lantern Image (1997, now out of print), this supplement adds a further 150 references to early illustrations of the magic lantern dated between 1684 and 1901, including reproductions of the vast majority of these.

As in the original volume, the illustrations are produced to a very high standard, giving a fascinating insight into the development of the lantern and its uses.
