In 2011 finally the sensational life work of Carl Simon was rediscovered in an old storage room in Unterbilk, part of the city of Düsseldorf, Germany. Approx. 23.000 wonderful glass slides (9,5 x 8,5 cm and 8,5 x 8,5 cm), for the most part hand-coloured and well-assorted in 200 wood boxes, as well as 2 original projectors, accessories, 15 lenses and a lot of scripts for slide lectures are stored. Carl Simon (1873-1952) first worked as procurator at the German photo company Liesegang in Düsseldorf and he founded his own company Lichtbild-Anstalt Carl Simon & Co. in 1907, where he offered services for the upcoming photo industry. He constructed cameras, lent slide projectors and began to collect wonderful hand-coloured glass slides. The most important part of his activities were live slides performances. Carl Simon had the ambition to show the big world to many people and presented about 300 slide performances to amazing spectators in whole Germany. During these events, whilst showing the photos, an actor read a special text for each image and, last but not least, a small orchestra was playing background music. Till 1945 Carl Simon collected 80.000 images. Over the years more than 23.000 still has survived. After his death Karl-Heinz Simon (1920-2002), his son curried in with the tradition of slide shows performances till to the 1960s. The End came with the introduction of television. There are several beautiful photographic trips within this marvelous collection: for example Rome, cities of Germany – Berlin and Munich – The Montblanc, life in East Africa, Asia, a travel through France, earthquakes and volcanic activity, Japan, China mission, Tibet, the sinking of the Titanic and many more “Highlights” of glass slide photography. less
