3010Crayon Portraits
  • Reference
  • Other, Photography
We use the term "Crayon Portraits" for a particular type of early enlarged photograph, probably made with a solar enlarger, printed on paper and embellished with charcoal of crayon. There are many kinds of embellished photographs in the collection - everything from tinted tintypes to color postcards with people added to the scenes. It is common to find pencil marks on photographs to "improve" them (and also common to find the fingerprints of early photographers like Henry Rand who made their own prints(, but the term Crayon Portrait used here refers to one specific kind of print. To understand the history and techniques of crayon portaits and painted photographs see - "The Painted Photograph 1839-1914 – Origins, Techniques, Aspirations" by Heinz K. Henisch and Bridget A. Henisch, The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1996.

12815Magic Lanterns
  • Reference
  • Other, Photography
Magic lanterns, also known as optical lanterns, provided one of the most popular forms of entertainment during their heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries, establishing many of the first 2-D special effects. Using an artificial light source and a combination of lenses, these devices enlarged small transparency images or miniature models and projected them onto a wall or screen. This document provides a brief history of magic lanterns, an example of the slide "Maine Coast at Bar Harbor" describing its creations, and an excerpt from a report written for the Regents of the University of the State of New York on the use of such slides. See http://www.collectorsweekly.com/photographs/magic-lantern to read more about Magic Lantern slides.
