Napoleonic Magic Lantern Slides

Following are JPEG images of five magic lantern slides depicting notable scenes in Napoleonic history. The dimensions of the original magic lantern slides are about 3 1/4 x 4 inches, which is considerably smaller than the JPEG images you will see here. The slide images are provided in two sizes (or sets), which of course are downloadable and printable. The characteristics of these two sets are as follows:

Set 1: These images have been made to fit within the confines of this frame, thereby allowing you to see the entire picture without scrolling it.

Set 2: These images are much larger, being as much as 750 pixel wide or 600 pixels high. For this reason, they will appear in a new browser. When you are finished viewing an image, please close its browser.

These slides were donated for your viewing pleasure by Mike Urbanek, who currently resides in California, and who will welcome e-mail enquiries from anyone who is interested in obtaining more information concerning this interesting aspect of art-history. In addition, I also invite you to visit the Magic Lantern Castle Museum for more information about magic lantern slides and magic lanterns history.
