Linnebach lantern

Linnebach lantern
also called  Linnebach projector 

      theatrical lighting device by which silhouettes, colour, and broad outlines can be projected as part of the background scenery. Originally developed in the 19th century by the German lighting expert Adolf Linnebach, it is a concentrated-filament, high-intensity lamp placed in a deep box painted black inside. One side of the box is open and contains a glass or mica slide carrying the design to be projected; it can be projected from behind onto a translucent screen or from the front of the stage onto a backdrop. The device has been refined to include a wide-angle-lens system that prevents the radical distortion of the image. Advances in projection equipment replaced the Linnebach lantern after the mid-20th century.
