Episcope - Epi-Diascope - 1900-1910 - Germany - Bing

A very beautiful, complete Epi-Diascope by the Bing brothers from Nuremberg, Germany. Inside there is a movable mirror that can be adjusted with a knob on the top, either directing the light to a projecting magic-lantern plate, or illuminating and sending the image from an opaque photo or print through the lens to project it. As you can see in the photos, the lantern is in good condition, with an oil burner included. This has not been tested for operation! Also included here is about a dozen 6 cm magic-lantern plates, to give the whole display a nice look in a vitrine or other exhibition. Of course this lantern will be carefully packed and shipped.
