Figures that depict a pair of travelling magic lantern showmen. Throughout the eighteenth century until the beginning of the nineteenth century, at fairs and markets throughout Europe, wanderers and dealers offered their show, burdened with lanterns, often made by themselves, with poor quality light and optics, and glass slides with images and musical instruments such as barbarian organs.
