EDITORS COMMENTS
Magic Lantern Slide: A Peek into the Victorian Past Step back in time with this exquisite antique "Auld Lang Syne" magic lantern slide from the Victorian era, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage treasure transports us to an era long past, evoking the charm and nostalgia of the Edwardian period. Magic lantern slides were a popular form of entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Projected onto a white screen using a magic lantern, these slides brought still images to life, creating a captivating visual experience. The intricate details of this "Auld Lang Syne" slide, with its delicate illustrations and elegant typography, would have mesmerized audiences as they welcomed the new year. The image on the slide depicts a group of people gathered around a table, raising their glasses in a toast. The scene is set against a backdrop of a snowy landscape, with twinkling stars and a full moon shining in the night sky. The title, "Auld Lang Syne," is written in elegant script at the top, while the lyrics of the famous Scottish poem are inscribed around the border. This magical artifact offers a glimpse into the traditions and celebrations of the Victorian era, reminding us of the enduring power of community and the simple joys of coming together to mark the passing of time. As we gaze at this enchanting slide, we can almost hear the strains of the traditional tune that accompanies the poem, inviting us to reflect on the memories of the past and look forward to the possibilities of the future.
