Leeds, England - Information from The Magic Lantern Society (see letter dated 10 June 2001). The business was established in 1888 and from the early 1900s the firm made photographic items including lanterns and projection equipment. In 1947 Kershaws became part of the Rank Organisation making projectors and projection lenses and finally ceased production in the late 1960s. This lantern was originally designed to use with carbon arc.
Thomson, Skinner & Hamilton, who are named on the lantern, were probably the retailers. | Publisher: | University of St Andrews | Rights holder: | 47795 | Subjects: | asbestos GAS MARTIN slide LANTERN MILNER | Temporal: | 1900/1910 | Source: | University of St Andrews | Creator: | A.
