| See a cuttlefish,
stingray, jellyfish, sea bass, and tuna swim across a
colorful seabed garden. The sea life figures are taken
from antique Japanese book illustrations. You can add your own MP3, Wav,
or midi sound file.
This screensaver is a
salute to the marvellous magic lantern of the past. By
the 19th century, there was a thriving trade of
itinerant projectionists, who would travel Britain with
their magic lanterns, and a large number of slides,
putting on shows in towns and villages. Some of the
slides came with special effects, by means of extra
sections that could slide or rotate across the main
plate. During the Napoleonic wars, a series was produced
of a British ship's encounter with a French navy ship,
ending patriotically with the French ship sinking in
flames, accompanied by the cheers of the audience.
