This magic lantern by Auguste Lapierre, manufactured in Paris in 1860, is a very rare model with its unusually wooden feet.
It is a copper-colored model known as the Communion Lantern or Saint-Roch lantern.
It is in good condition for its age.
It retains its original optical assembly with its original lenses; these are impressively sized and perfect for a collector seeking a nearly unique piece—I have seen only two others for sale in the last 40 years.

Height: 35 cm
Width: 13 cm
Depth: 24 cm

An item for discerning collectors who will take great pleasure in this piece, just as I have.
