The ceiling of the box is a three-tiered pagoda roof surmounted by figural design, and the box rests upon three-tiered green steps. The lens is intact, although the burner is lacking, some slides are included. The lantern is stored in its original box labeled Magic Lantern, No. 602, with three language instructions for use on the inside. Beautifully preserved condition of lantern and finish. Circa 1898, Ernst Plank.
