Magic Lantern - The magic lantern on picture postcards part 2

Magic Lantern
Picture Postcards 2.


A very old Dutch postcard depicting some kittens looking at a magic lantern show. 'Voor goed gedrag belooning: Een bioscoop-vertooning.' (In reward for their good behaviour: a cinema show.) (Thanks to Simon van Blokland, the Netherlands)

Another Dutch postcard. 'In de poesenbioscoop' (the cinema for pussycats). Mirror image of the same picture, now in colours......	..... and again the same picture on an English black and white postcard. It says on the front 'The show is on - come over!'
	Modern Magic Lantern Postcard with a cat, printed in Paris in 1987. The card is titled 'CHAT A LA LANTERNE MAGIQUE' and measures 15 x 10.5 cm (app. 6 x 4 inches).
Bonne Année - Happy New Year. Circa 1910. Two lovely French hand tinted photo postcards featuring a pair of children with a magic lantern. At the left bottom of the card is a trade mark and the serial number 2530/1 and 2530/3. Size: approx. 3 ½" x 5 ½" (9 x 14 cm). According to the diamond shaped trade mark at the back of the lantern it must be made by the German manufacturer Bing (G.B.N). Though only a part of the film reel holder is visible, it's definitely a cinematograph and probably the model that can be found at Cinematographs, movies on the magic lantern.
Same couple in black and white. Bonne Année postcard from the same publisher PHR, numbered 2530/6.
Another hand tinted photograph postcard, made by the same publisher. Another series, another couple, another motive (Christmas bells), the same G.B.N. lantern. Serial number 2483/4. Size: approx. 3 ½ by 5 ½ inch (9 x 14 cm).
And this one has serial number 2530/2.
	Two children using a special kind of projector to wish the people of 1912 a happy New Year.
Magic Lantern postcard, c. 1910 from Govan Scotland, published by Newman Bros.
At first sight this card has nothing to do with magic lanterns, however appearances are deceiving. When appropriate lit from behind the card shows the magic lantern beam and projection. French text on the front 'Regarder par transparence' and 'La Leçon de Géographie', overprinted by Swedish 'Hall kortet mot lampan' and 'Arvid Carlson, Södertelge'. (Thanks to Jean-Philippe Salier, France, for the four surrounding cards)	French children's postcard. 'At the cinema', c. 1915. Text 'M.D. Nr 1201' on the back of the card. There is a German version too: 'Im Kino'.
French children's postcard, 1929.	Children's postcard 'Made in U.S.A.', 1915?
