Thank you for your answers!

I am for the moment located in northern Norway, but am gladly willing to come and inspect your collections in the US and London when I have the possibility.

David Burder, your system sounds interesting. Did you build it yourself?
Yes, if you can shoot a video of it (and the inside mechanism if possible ?) I would be very grateful !

I am working with shadowtheatre, and for a new performance I would like to implement some (early) projection techniques in it, so as to point on the evolution of the projection of (moving) images.

Thanks again + best regards,
Oona

Hi,
In case it helps, I do have my own modern projection Kaleidoscope system that does work well, without the obvious light loss seen in some segments from many Victorian systems.

I do not have a video of it in action, but could probably shoot a new one if necessary.
Good luck in your searches- may I ask what is the purpose?

Kind regards,
David Burder, London.
