Hi, this is sort of a follow-up question to the lantern-slide discussion. We
have some gorgeous Japanese lantern slides we have been wracking our brains
how to display (transparency copy is a great suggestion, btw! Thanks!).
However, we still have the problem of how to display it - do the folks who
normally display slides in exhibit cases have some sort of light projection
beneath the slide/transparency copy? Or does a piece of white paper work
just as well?
Our cases have a dark blue base on which the slide/copy would rest. We're
worried that it would be hard to see the images on the slide/transparency
copy.
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks so much.
