Backlit transparencies were a hugely popular domestic entertainment in the early years of the 19th century. Today we have a special showing of these, reflecting their original salon setting with live music. At 4.45pm, Peter Davidson (Senior Research Fellow at Campion Hall and author of The Lighted Window) will give a short talk on the history of transparencies.

Please note: this event is now in The Levine Building, Trinity College
