EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of yesteryear with this image of a family gathered around the Kinora, an animated family portrait viewer. Dating back to 1903, this historical photograph transports us to a time when technology brought families closer together. The Kinora, an imported innovation from Germany, was a popular form of home entertainment that allowed families to project animated images onto a screen, creating a unique and interactive experience. The scene is set in a cozy, festively decorated living room, where a father, mother, and their children eagerly watch as a series of animated portraits come to life before their eyes. The father, dressed in a sharp suit and holding a pipe, looks on with delight as his wife, dressed in an elegant gown and pearls, leans in to share a whispered comment with her husband. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are mesmerized by the animated images, their faces filled with wonder and excitement. The Kinora viewer, a large wooden box with intricate carvings and ornate details, sits at the center of the scene, casting a warm, golden glow over the family. The images projected onto the screen are a delightful blend of humor, whimsy, and charm, adding a touch of magic to the ordinary family portrait. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the power of family, connection, and the wonder of new technology. It invites us to imagine the stories and memories that were created around the Kinora viewer, and to appreciate the rich history of family entertainment that has shaped our world today.
