Professor Pepper in ‘the Land of Bush Fires’.

My latest chapter is open access. 

“Professor Pepper in ‘the Land of Bush Fires’. The Colonial Experience of the Magic Lantern and Scientific Spectacle”, from Spectacles of Light The Magic Lantern as Popular Entertainment, 1810-1930, ed Kurt Vanhoutte, Eleonora Paklons, Evelien Joncheere and Leen Engelen, Brepols Publishers, Antwerp, pp145-167


In an illustration from the chapter, Professor Pepper’s (unsuccessful) attempts to break Queensland’s drought are cruelly satirised.
