Obv.: The Journal of the Amateur, the Profession, the Trade / Photography; Rev.: Medal for / Lantern Shades / won by / Wm. Archibald / October / 1901. 46mm, bronze. In 1849, the Philadelphia daguerreotypists William and Frederick Langenheim introduced the lantern slide: a transparent image on glass that could be projected, in magnified form, onto a surface using a "magic lantern," or sciopticon. This new technology expanded the uses of photography, allowing photographic images to be viewed by a large audience. With lantern slides, Museum curators and educators could illustrate their lectures, letting audience members see detailed studies of objects and sites from around the world.
