A double lantern setup from the late 19th century, circa 1880. The device features two lanterns positioned side by side, each containing a glass slide with an image. One of the slides is visible through a peephole in the other lantern's housing. This arrangement allows for superimposition of one image over another when viewed through the peephole. The result gives a crude illusion of movement when images are displayed in sequence. Printed on high-quality paper, this historical photograph captures the early beginnings of optical devices that would eventually lead to more sophisticated forms of moving images. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this moment in history for future generations to appreciate. Available as a print, it can be enjoyed and studied up close. A single print featuring this historic double lantern setup measures [insert size].
