this is my new treasure...
a 19th century glass magic lantern slide of a tiger. the eyes and mouth are both painted on separate, movable plates, creating the illusion of an animated tiger when the slide is projected.
magic lantern shows traveled around europe during the late 18th through the 19th century. several particular shows, such as the phantasmagoria ghost shows, gained significant popularity with the public.
Beautiful slide there! They sure put alot of work into those vintage lantern slides.
