AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original Ernst Plank magic lantern with a contemporaneous box, oil lamp, and 9 hand-painted slides – late 19th / early 20th century

An enchanting original German-made magic lantern, complete with its own antique box, oil lamp, and nine painted glass slides with assorted figurative subjects.



The specimen retains:
the original metal structure
the contemporaneous oil lamp,
the original box, a rarely present element that ensures its historical preservation.
9 hand-painted glass panes, in color, in good condition, with various scenes

The plates, still vivid in color, bear witness to a mass production of quality intended for dissemination and private display.

Dimensions
Original box: 21 × 14 × 19 cm

Ideal dimensions for home use, typical of tabletop models intended for families and small cultural circles.

Condition
Good condition and consistent with the object's age.
Normal signs of wear and tear without any significant structural alterations.
Let's integrate.
Well-preserved set, suitable for both museum display and for a collection of historical optical instruments.

Not restored.

Complete specimens with box, original lighting, and the full set of slides are increasingly difficult to find on the market.
