Photographic Lantern Slide Mask

Photographic Lantern Slide Masks are accessories used in the field of photography, specifically for creating lantern slides. Lantern slides are transparent photographic images mounted on glass or plastic, which can be projected onto a screen using a lantern projector.

A lantern slide mask is a device that is placed over the lantern slide to create different effects or to enhance the projected image. These masks can be made of various materials such as metal, plastic, or cardboard, and they come in different shapes and patterns.

The purpose of using a lantern slide mask is to add visual interest and creativity to the projected image. They can be used to create borders, frames, or patterns around the main subject of the slide. By blocking or filtering the light in certain areas, the mask can also be used to create shadows or highlight specific parts of the image.

Photographic Lantern Slide Masks are part of the Photographic Supplies class, which includes various accessories and equipment used in photography. They belong to the supply group Photographic Equipment, which encompasses all the tools and devices used in the field of photography.
