Anton stopped here by on his way up north -- I got to see some of the slides, and the Photo Palace bus! He'll will be stopping be here again next Fall, and hopefully we'll get a magic lantern show and tour of the bus for our students!

I gave the Photo Palace a small carbon print for its collection of photographic processes. It is great to see all the examples he has gathered.

Anton's blog is a fun read, too: http://thephotopalace.blogspot.com/

A very interesting story from a very tumultuous time. It was serendipity that Anton was introduced to those slides and a wonderful thing for him to share them as he is.
