These optical devices used candles, oil and later limestone as a light source to project glass slides onto screens. This large biunial (or double lens) mahogany and brass magic lantern has two optical systems which allows for transition effects between slides. There are a wide range of magic lanterns models, from small toy lanterns for children, to large projectors for theatrical presentations or educational lectures. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/archives.library.ryerson.ca\/index.php\/informationobject\/browse?topLod=0&amp;sort=relevance&amp;query=%22magic+lantern%22\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/archives.library.ryerson.ca\/index.php\/informationobject\/browse?topLod=0&amp;sort=relevance&amp;query=%22magic+lantern%22\" target=\"_blank\">Explore our database<\/a> to see the wide variety of magic lantern projectors and slides in our holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8027\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/2021\/03\/archives-a-to-z-part-2\/2017-017-01-004-biunial-magic-lantern-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/files\/2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"616,790\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/files\/2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1-468x600.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/files\/2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1-468x600.jpg\" alt=\"2017.017.01.004  Biunial Magic Lantern, image\" class=\"wp-image-8027 lazyload\" width=\"384\" height=\"492\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/files\/2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1-468x600.jpg 468w, https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/files\/2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/files\/2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1-117x150.jpg 117w, https:\/\/library.torontomu.ca\/asc\/files\/2017.017.01.004-Biunial-Magic-Lantern-1.jpg 616w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 384px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 384\/492;\" \/><figcaption><span class=\"image-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archives.library.ryerson.ca\/index.php\/biunial-magic-lantern\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/archives.library.ryerson.ca\/index.php\/biunial-magic-lantern\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2017.017.01.004<\/a>  Biunial Magic Lantern<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week we&#8217;ll highlight items and archival concepts for the letters N to S!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re joining the Archives of Ontario in their #ArchivesAtoZ month-long campaign.
