ID 309102831 © Vintagevik | Megapixl.com
The magic lantern, also known by its Latin name lanterna magica, was an early type of image projector that used pictures paintings, prints, or photographs on transparent plates (usually made of glass), one or more lenses, and a light source. Because a single lens inverts an image projected through it (as in the phenomenon which inverts the image of a camera obscura), slides were inserted upside down in the magic lantern, rendering the projected image correctly oriented.
