Magic lanterns - Louis Aubert p-art 2

Magic Lanterns, manufactured by
Louis Aubert part 2

Bouddha, oldest variant (see: Very special magic lanterns).

	c.1875 Bouddha, second variant. Aubert's famous Buddha shaped magic lantern was made in three variations. Unlike the oldest variant, the second variant does not have a relief pressed lens cover but painted ornaments on it instead, there is an open chimney on the Buddha's hat to further the drain of the heat, and there is no door on the back. The third variant is almost similar to the second one; it is brown metallic varnished however.
