Edwin Molenaar

A fine late Victorian magic lantern, circa 1880–1900, of unmarked manufacture. Constructed with a mahogany base and frame, japanned metal light chamber, and brass projection lens, this elegant optical instrument exemplifies the craftsmanship of the period. The lantern features a wood-framed bellows section for focus adjustment, operated by original brass knobs mounted on the base, and a removable chimney for heat ventilation. Inside, the original double glass condenser lens remains intact and clear, displaying the subtle curvature characteristic of quality 19th-century projection optics. Originally designed for use with oil or limelight illumination, the lantern would have projected hand-painted or photographic glass slides for educational and entertainment purposes — the forerunner of the modern slide projector and cinema.
Unmarked but comparable in quality and design to models by W. Butcher & Sons or Ernst Plank, this example retains its original patina, showing light age wear consistent with use.

Dimensions: approx. 58 cm long × 41 cm high × 20 cm wide

Very good antique condition; some surface wear, oxidation to metal parts, and minor age marks to the wood; bellows intact and flexible, glass lens present and undamaged. A handsome and authentic optical instrument, perfect for collectors of early photography, scientific apparatus, or decorative antiques.
