An old box of Magic Lantern slides depicting the known planets, Looking close on Friday
The cranks on the side of each slide is connected to gears in the center of the slide. When the handle is cranked an image in the circle moves in a circular motion. The lantern slides are all hand drawn and painted on a round glass disc. This set is dated around 1870. It was going to e be discarded by a school when my wife rescued it and brought it home.
