DescriptionMagic Lantern on street of Japan (1915 by Elstner Hilton).jpg

My spouse's uncle Elstner Hilton took this photo in Japan between 1914 and 1918.

I am guessing this cart had small circular windows through which children could see a succession of images. I wonder whether they were illuminated by natural light, or whether there was a light source inside the cart.

  • Japan 1914 - 1918
    I own the originals of these unpublished family photos. ... As a salesman for Atkins Saw Company, Elstner Hilton traveled to the Far East to sell commercial sawmills in the early years of the 20th century. ... Elstner Hilton was my father-in-law Frank Hilton's* brother, which makes him my spouse's uncle. ...
    * Elstner Hilton's brother Frank Hilton compiled a scrapbook of photographs, clippings and other ephemera at Stanford University between 1907 and 1911. ...
    ps: I now have reason to believe that the photos of Japan may be stock photos that Uncle Elstner purchased and pasted into his album. There may be some exceptions: the images of his sister, Miriam, and photos of logging operations in the Phillippines.
