EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from circa 1900 showcases a magical lantern slide depicting religious scenes. The Maison de la Bonne Presse, established in July 1873, is the focal point of this image. Steeped in history and mystery, it transports us back to a time when storytelling through visual aids was an art form. Intriguingly, the slide captures a pivotal moment: the refusal of the Hotellier to Mary and Joseph. Set against the backdrop of cobblestone streets in Paris, we witness their journey as they seek shelter during the Nativity. The Hotelier's rejection adds depth to this timeless tale and invites contemplation on themes such as faith, compassion, and humanity. The inclusion of religious slides within this collection highlights their significance in conveying spiritual narratives to audiences at that time. This particular image resonates with its portrayal of Jesus' earthly parents facing adversity while carrying out God's divine plan. Renowned photographer John Short has masterfully captured not only the essence of this magic lantern slide but also its historical context. Through his lens, we are transported into a world where religion intertwines with everyday life on bustling Parisian streets. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us reflect on how these images once captivated audiences and sparked conversations about faith and devotion. May it serve as a reminder that even today, centuries later, stories continue to inspire our hearts and minds across generations.
