Apparently Floating Halo Jesus Slides Upwards

EDITORS COMMENTS
This late 19th century lantern slide presents an ethereal image of Jesus, with a halo encircling his head and the appearance of floating upwards against a backdrop of complete darkness. The intricate details of Jesus' face, his serene expression, and the radiant halo are beautifully rendered, creating an aura of divine presence. Lantern slides like this one were a popular form of visual entertainment during the late 1800s. They were used in lantern projectors to create moving images for educational, religious, and recreational purposes. This slide, with its spiritual subject matter, would have been particularly well-suited for religious gatherings and lectures. The artistry and craftsmanship evident in this slide are a testament to the skill and dedication of the lantern slide makers of the time. The intricate details and the use of a black background to highlight the image of Jesus demonstrate the level of care and attention given to each slide. The exact origin of this slide is unknown, but it is estimated to date from the late 1890s. It is part of Box 366 from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast collection of historical images. This slide, with its timeless image of Jesus, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the visual culture of the late 19th century.
