Where is this?  <  Marking time  <  autobio  <  Peter Marquis-Kyle. Magic Lantern Slides - The Berkeley Geography Collection. Classical Antiquity Lantern Slide Collection (Bryn Mawr College) | ARTstor. With a collection of over 200,000 slides and 50,000 digital images, the Visual Resources Center at Bryn Mawr College supports the image needs of several academic departments, including the History of Art, Archaeology, Classics, and Growth and Structure of Cities. Among its holdings are a collection of lantern slides focused on Classical Antiquity, dating from the late 19th to mid 20th century. Coverage extends across the Mediterranean world, from Southern Europe (Greece, Italy, Spain, France) to North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and the Near East (Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria). In many cases, these lantern slides serve as valuable historical records, depicting monuments that have since been completely destroyed or severely damaged.

Some slides record excavations in progress or monuments in various stages of repair or restoration, providing unique visual documentation.
