Mirroscope, 1912
Media Archaeology
The mirroscope is a toy magic lantern for projecting non-transparent images, in contrast to the ordinary magic lantern which projects transparent glass plates. The mirrorscope is also known as megascope or episcope. The current mirrorscope was mainly used by children for projecting colourful postcards.
