magic lanternn.

Brit.

/ˌmadʒɪk ˈlantən/, U.S.

/ˌmædʒɪk ˈlæntərn/

Forms: see magic adj. and lantern n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: magic adj., lantern n.

Etymology: < magic adj. + lantern n., after French lanterne magique (1659) or post-classical Latin laterna magica (1674 or earlier). Compare German Zauberlaterne.The illumination and projection of images is first described in A. Kircher Ars Magna Lucis et Umbræ (1646); perhaps following his work, C. Huygens in 1659 described the projection of images with artificial light rather than sunlight by use of a lanterne magique. De Chales Curs. Math. (1674) II. 655, 665, says that in 1665 ‘a learned Dane’ (eruditus Danus) exhibited at Lyons a contrivance ‘sub nomine Laternæ magicæ’, and the second edition (1671) of Kircher's Ars Magna describes the apparatus used by T. Walgensten who travelled giving magic lantern demonstrations in 1664–70. A possibly similar device is alluded to earlier in French in 1613 by M. Régnier ( Satire XI in Œuvres ed. J. Plattard 97) ‘une lanterne vive, Dont quelque Paticier amuse les enfans, Où des oisons bridez, Guenuches, Elefans, Chiens, chats, lièvres, renards, et mainte estrange beste Courent l'une après l'autre.’

A simple optical device using slides to display a magnified image on a white screen, wall, etc., in a darkened room. Also figurative.
