Produced
to be viewed with a projector, lantern slides were both popular home entertainment
and an accompaniment to speakers on the lecture circuit. They reached their
popularity about 1900, but continued to be widely used until the 1930s when
they were gradually replaced by the more convenient 35-mm slides.
