Early magic lantern. Illustration depicting a very early form of magic lantern. Light enters the window at left and reflects from a framed mirror to illuminate designs on an octagonal drum. These may be rotated so that the viewer in the room sees different designs appear within the frame. The effect could be used in conjunction with a musical or theatrical performance. This illustration is from Kircher's Ars magna lucis et umbrae printed at Rome in 1646 | |
