THE Age of the Magic Lantern is being revived at a historic manor house.
The animated slide shows were all the rage in Victorian times before cinema took over.
One of the leading modern exponents of the lanterns, "Professor" Mervyn Heard, is putting on a show at Kelmscott Memorial Hall on November 24 to raise funds for Kelmscott Manor, once the home of artist and philosopher William Morris.
Two workshops in lantern-making are also being held at the Manor on the next two Saturdays for children aged six to 12.
