The exact nature of this business is not yet clear; it is known from a single reference in OMLJ, when it changed ownership in 1895. It would be logical if it was an agency for hiring or distributing lantern slides and/or hardware, but this requires further research.
EATON, F.N. (fl. 1890s) – owner, 1895
STEAD, W.T. (1849-1912) – owner, in or before 1895
“The Lantern Bureau, which was founded by Mr W.T. Stead, of the Review of Reviews, has been transferred to Mr F.N. Eaton, whose headquarters are at 29, Queen Anne's Gate, S.W.”
