Magic Lantern Slides | The First Attempt to Climb Mount Everest

Описание к видео Magic Lantern Slides | The First Attempt to Climb Mount Everest

Photographer John Noel joined colonel Howard-Bury and Captain Bruce on the first British attempt to climb Mount Everest in 1921 and 1922. When he returned the Royal Geographical Society made Captain Knowles photographs of the trip into a lantern slideshow with an accompanying script. Captain C.E. Parkes purchased the slides and scripts from the RGS, he presented the slides as a public lecture altering the script with his own notes. This film attempts to tell the story of the expedition in the way it would have been shown to audiences through the magic of lantern slides.
