Magic Lantern

Wetaskiwin and District Heritage Museum

The month of October heralds Halloween and all sorts of spooky surprises! From howling werewolves to ghostly appearances, you never know what sorts of hair-raising sensations await. Luckily, this artifact doesn’t need the help of a witch and her bubbling cauldron to be magical! Known as a magic lantern, this early type of image projector first developed in the 17th century largely for entertainment, but later for educational purposes. It employs pictures, either printed, painted, or generated photographically, as well as glass lenses and a light source to transmit an image. A concave mirror directs light through a “lantern slide”—a small rectangular pane of glass—and toward a lens at the front of the device. The image is then projected onto a screen and the lens is adjusted to achieve optimal focus. This process would lay the foundation for modern projectors. Smaller versions of the magic lantern were mass-produced as children’s toys beginning in the 19th century. This particular lantern belonged to its donor as a child in the 1920s! In the spirit of Halloween, the museum invites you to hop on over and check out our new enchanting Harry Potter-inspired candy: Chocolate Frogs!
