I was doing some more research about the projection screen history, when I saw a nice ad from the 50′s for a Da-lite tripod projection screen.
It’s a nice advertisement and you can get quite a lot of information about home cinema and projection screens in those days:
- Projection screens were then called “slide and movie screens”
- A tripod was the norm for home cinema
- Screens could be had for $3.50
Fun stuff!
Here’s the ad, with some more information about cinema in those days here.
