The magic lantern is an early type of image projector that was invented in the 17th century. It is considered a precursor to the modern slide projector and film projector. The magic lantern worked by projecting an image from a glass slide onto a screen. The image on the slide would be illuminated by a light source such as candles or oil lamps. The magic lantern was often used to entertain and inform audiences. It was commonly used by traveling showmen and lecturers to show images of various subjects such as historical events, religious scenes, and natural phenomena.
