author: Ernst Plank
The catalogue is richly illustrated; almost every apparatus is accompanied by a detailed engraving. The catalogue lists lanterns, slides (some in toy format, some in lecture format), various illuminants, and accessories, like screens. Next to lanterns, there are many cinematographic devices, film projectors (often advertised as usuable as film projector and magic lantern), postcard projecting apparatus ('polyopticons'). Some work with electricity. The digital version was created from a reprint that did not include the original page numbers hence the unnumbered pages in the digital version. The digitized catalogue is only one section of the entire 1914 catalogue by Ernst Plank.
