Brian's Magic Lantern Show

This is Brian Davis from Chesterfield Photographic Society with his Magic Lantern.

Brian presented his lecture / talk "Grandma's Picture Show", to our camera club tonight.

Brian was displaying images on Victorian projector equipment. Animated Painted Glass Slides (objects that moved) from the Victorian era and Photographic Glass Slides from the 1930's and 20's

Don't you just love that projector

An excellent presentation from Brian to a very appreciative group of photographers from our club.

Nice smile - and that’s some amazing piece of equipment

A terrific image and it would have been incredible to be there.

Oh wow, I imagine that was so interesting. Great capture of this chap and his instrument.

A fabulous portrait and Brian was dressed for the occasion. I'd have loved to admire the Magic Lantern in person.

How interesting! And, yes, I do love the projector! I would have enjoyed that session. And the portrait is excellent.

Just awesome. Imagine you going around the park holding Elsie on a leash in one hand and that camera, or Magic Lantern in the other.
