- Description
- Magic Lantern projector. (a) wooden base with metal components. Embellished cast metal stand on hinge attached to wooden base. Oil lamp component also attached to metal base. The lamp has a bell-shaped base and a wick wheel engraved with the manufacturer name: “WIENER FLACHBRENNER”. There is a wick that moves when the wheel is turned. The wooden base is painted red on top, with black sides. The bottom of the base is natural wood, and has a stamp reading: “NICHOLAS MORANT”; “BANFF, ALBERTA”; “CANADA”. (b) a cover for the lamp that is open on top to allow smoke to escape; it also has a scope with a lens, and can be placed on top the lamp. The scope component sits in the round part of the metal stand. There likely would have been a component between where the scope connects to the lamp cover, that would allow for slides to be placed for projecting. The cover for the lamp is cylindrical, and narrows towards the top.
