Abide Hymn Magic

EDITORS COMMENTS
Abide with me, Magic Lantern Projection Slide: A Victorian Era Hymn Illuminated (Verse 4) Step back in time to the Victorian era and immerse yourself in the captivating world of magic lantern slides. This rare and intriguing art form, a precursor to the modern slide projector, brought moving images to life through the use of hand-painted glass slides and a magic lantern projector. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online presents an exquisite example of a magic lantern projection slide featuring the hymn "Abide with me." Verse 4 of this beloved hymn, penned by Henry Lyte in 1847, reads: "Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me." This vintage magic lantern projection slide, with its delicate and evocative illustrations, invites us to reflect on the transient nature of life and the comforting presence of the eternal. The image of a serene figure, bathed in the warm glow of a lantern, gazing up at the night sky, seems to embody the longing for constancy and continuity in a world of change. The early 20th-century charm of this slide is further enhanced by its intricate details and rich colors, which appear all the more vibrant when projected onto a screen. The Edwardian era, with its emphasis on beauty, craftsmanship, and spirituality, is reflected in the exquisite artistry of this slide. As you gaze upon this image, allow the words of the hymn to resonate within you, offering solace and comfort in the face of life's impermanence. The magic lantern projection slide, with its unique blend of art and technology, serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the beauty of the past.
