Magic Lantern Slide: St Lawrence Church, Isle of Wight
This magic lantern slide was taken in the St Lawrence Church in the Isle of Wight and depicts the interior of the building. This slide shows the natural light coming through the front window and how it makes the photo more dynamic and interesting.
William Weaver Baker was a keen local amateur photographer and his collection of lantern slides offer a rare glimpse of Exeter and the surrounding area in the early twentieth century.
