Artists Holly Ward & Kevin Schmidt constructed a ‘Camera Obscura’ that looked like a large gold ‘nugget.’ It's placed on the old dredge piles of Dawson City, where tailings from gold mining once accumulated.

It projects onto varnished linen, the Yukon River landscape over 180˚. https://t.co/4f5l7lOiTu

The ‘Galantee’ showmen gave way to the 'Professors', showmen who had access to more elaborate equipment and wonderful, but expensive, animated slides.

Robertson was a ‘professor’ of the ‘Magic Lantern’ show and perfected the ‘Phantasmagoria’. https://t.co/mBcmUHSj9y

The 'Galantee' showmen or Savoyards put on lantern shows that became known as ‘Galantee So’ which translates to “a fine show”.
