Detailed description provided by the archive:
The Cinémathèque française has one of the finest collections of lantern slides: some 17,000 items dating from the eighteenth century to the 1920s. It includes the creative work of almost all the major producing countries: France, Britain, Germany, USA. All the techniques of painting and printing are included: water paints, aniline, in series, lithograph, photograph, etc. Many slides are finely mechanized and sometimes have complex animation features. All subjects are represented: travel, science, religion, politics, history, fine arts, architecture, daily life, eroticism, scatology, devilish antics, etc. This exceptional collection has been assembled since 1936 by various officials and curators of the Cinémathèque, and also by various collectors, including Will Day (1873-1936). This collection is still enriched by donations and purchases.
