The book of the lantern : being a practical guide to the working of the optical (or magic) lantern : with full and precise directions for making and coloring lantern pictures
A late nineteenth-century manual on magic lantern projection by Thomas Cradock Hepworth, published in New York by E.L. Wilson in 1889 for amateur lanternists and home projectionists. Its pictures are plain line drawings of apparatus such as a lamp housing with a stand, a sliding plate holder, a slotted clamp, and a fitting with pipes labelled A and B, showing how the parts fit together and what a designer might borrow is the clean, labelled technical diagram style.
