Magic lantern cinematograph. Gebrüder Bing. Format: 35 mm. Endless movie. Lighting: oil lamp. Lenses: 3. 6 cm diameter x 4. 3 cm length. Device in blue colour. The magic lantern, now used simply as a type of toy, sought to incorporate new cinema techniques. The result was the cinematographic lanterns, which could project glass plate images as well as a continuous 35mm. film strip with cartoon drawings. This was thus an attempt to bring the magic of cinema closer to young.
