The slides were made by T. H. McAllister-Kelly Co. The T.H. McAllister-Keller Company of New York was the
final corporate name of a family company long associated with the magic lantern trade in
the United States. The family in America originated with John McAllister’s Philadelphia
trading business in spectacles and optical goods as well as whips and walking sticks. The
firm became known as John McAllister & Co. in 1830, and at this point probably started
dealing in magic lantern slides. By 1846 they were a leading firm in this field. In 1866
Thomas McAllister, grandson of the founder, opened an optical supplies business in New
York, offering a large catalogue of magic lanterns and slides. The name of the firm
changed over the years as various members of the family headed it, but in 1917 the firm
changed its name to McAllister-Keller, continuing with this name until 1942 when it
ceased to exist.
