From the late 18th century through the early 20th century, traveling showmen used magic lanterns and slides to entertain and educate people by projecting colorful and fantastic images on walls and screens.
The SDSU Library hopes to both entertain and educate people about magic lanterns through its current exhibit titled “Sources of Wonder: The Homer and Betty Peabody Magic Lantern Collection,” which features around 30 lanterns and many slides from the library’s collection.
The exhibit runs through June 29, 2012, in the library’s Donor Hall.
