I am preparing an exhibition featuring a collection of black and white
3.25" by 4" lantern slides taken from the 1919-1940's. Several of these
are hand tinted by the creator. Most of the images will be enlarged and
shown as graphic panels, but I think there is great value in also
showing a selection of the original slides.
I have two questions:
1) Has anyone come up with a clever low tech way of displaying the
lantern slides so the image is visible (creating a light box is beyond
budget right now)
2) can someone point me to a conservation guide for lantern slides,
specifically the effect of light on the image and a recommendation on
how long to display them? How does hand tinting react to light? The
cases have LED lighting which can be dimmed, and I am looking for a safe
foot candle and daily/cumulative time exposure guideline
Many thanks.
Kevin
