            <display>[The collection consists of 2,676 lantern slides which are views of buildings and cities in Europe, with some slides from the Middle and Far East as well. These were digitally imaged in 2007.] A. Molteni was an inventor and manufacturer of projection equipment in the late 19th and early 20th century. He styled himself a "Constructeur d'instruments d'Optique, de Physique, de Mathématiques et de Marine." Arthur-Honore Radiguet (1850-1905) was a similarly gifted inventor whose photographic business included working with Molteni and producing lantern slides. He also invented all manner of photographic equipment and especially worked with medical imaging, including the new x-ray techniques, discovered in 1895. He formed a firm with his son-in-law, Gaston Massiot, in 1899. Tragically Radiguet died from the effects of x-ray exposure in 1905. Massiot assumed the firm and was still inventing new apparatus as late as ca. 1936. The firm was still in business as of ca. 1940.</display>
