MAGIC LANTERN MOVING SCREEN
The frame of the plate is made of wood, it is robust and has a hand-crafted finish. Inside the frame are two superposed glass screens. The 2 glass screens are in good condition, with no cracks or scratches, and they allow light to pass through easily, ensuring a clear, crisp projection. One of the glass panels is fixed, while the other can be moved by using a pull system. The pull system works perfectly.
These elements make this plate a unique piece, testifying to the ingenuity of pre-cinematographic animation mechanisms.
The 2 glass screens are painted with a colourful scene of two ships entering port.
Early 19th century - 29 x 11 cm
