He possibly met Christiaan Huygens during this time (and/or on several other occasions) and may have learned about the magic lantern from him. Correspondence between them is known from 1667. At least from 1664 until 1670, Walgensten demonstrated the magic lantern in Paris (1664), Lyon (1665), Rome (1665–1666), and Copenhagen (1670). [ 15 ]

Christiaan Huygens' 1659 sketches for a projection of Death taking off his head Slide with a fantoccini trapeze artist and a chromatrope border design (circa 1880) Main article: Magic lantern Moving images were possibly projected with the magic lantern since its invention by Christiaan Huygens in 1659.
The book was widely distributed and may have offered some inspiration for Christiaan Huygens' invention of the magic lantern in 1659. Moving images were possibly projected with the magic lantern since its invention; Christiaan Huygens' 1659 sketches for slides show a skeleton taking his skull off his neck and placing it back.
Around 1659 the magic lantern was developed by Christiaan Huygens. It projected slides that were usually painted in color on glass. It projected slides that were usually painted in color on glass. A sketch by Huygens believed to have been made in 1659, indicates that moving images from mechanical slides may have been part of the earliest ...
In 1659 Dutch inventor Christiaan Huygens drew several phases of Death removing his skull from his neck and putting it back again, sketches meant to be projected with "convex lenses and a lamp". [12] This lamp later became known as the magic lantern, and the sketches form the oldest known extant documentation of this invention.
The Huygens probe found a world remarkably similar to Earth and yet totally unlike our home planet as well. Like Earth, Titan has a hydraulic cycle in which bodies of fluid evaporate, condense as ...
By 1659 Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens had developed the magic lantern, which used a concave mirror to reflect and direct as much of the light of a lamp as possible through a small sheet of glass on which was the image to be projected, and onward into a focusing lens at the front of the apparatus to project the image onto a wall or screen ...
