Lantern Slides This section of the website features a unique collection of lantern slide images from the end of the Nineteenth century and the beginning of the Twentieth century. Here you will find one hundred Native Indian images of almost two thousand rare copies of images of people and places in black and white and hand painted color from that time. They are historical pictures from around the world. They were collected by a gifted photographer, The Rev Canon P. L. Spencer, from his travels to visit his children who were clergy or missionaries around the world and displayed as magic lantern slides to audiences in Southern Ontario, Canada. These images from Canada, the United States, Borneo, England, Australia and other far flung places are sure to intrigue and please.

You are welcome to explore to your hearts content. Enjoy! Watch for regular new additions and features
