Cornwall through Magic Lantern Slides is a quality book of 287
superb professional photographs of bygone Cornwall from the later
years of Queen Victoria and through the reign of Edward VII. The
book transports the reader back to the nostalgic, but hard times of
our forefathers. The original photographs are all positives printed
on glass of subjects varying from men at work underground in the
Cornish mines to chocolate box views of Cornish harbours. Many
images will have been made available commercially at the time of
production whilst others are taken by private individuals for
lectures at their local social evenings. Photographs of Rocks or
cliffs at the time would have looked dramatic to the photographer,
but to the present day viewer they may seem less interesting, so
these are generally not included unless something else of interest
is happening in the scene. The reader will find the variety of the
subjects both fascinating and of great social interest. Logistic
difficulties of the cumbersome, and technically difficult equipment
is discussed. This is a book for anyone interested in Magic Lantern
slides or the photographic, social and topographical history of
Cornwall.
