Special attention to Shippers and Export Orders. The ANDERTON’S LANTERN STEREOSCOPE. “The Lantern applies to screen illustrations on a large scale the principles of the Stereoscope. Figures stand out feet or yards in front of the background, and the idea of substance, as opposed to that of a flat picture, is most realistically conveyed. Several views showiny wild animalsin their cages were admirable in their perspective qualities, and although the lioness did not roar, it was a satisfaction to see the bars with all the appearance of solidity standing between the beast and the spectators.”—lf/ester): Daily Press, January rth, 1894. “ Objects of various sorts, figures of men and animals, stand ovt in such bold relief as to suggest actual life. The saime remarks apply to pictures of statuary and buildings, which are seen in perfection down to the smallest details."—The Bristol Mercury, fanuary 18th, 1394 Particulat's and Prices from the Makers— R.
