Abstract The Royal Asiatic Society in London houses a collection of magic lantern slides of China dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By investigating a selection of lantern slides, this article explores their epistemological nature and their wider relations to socio-cultural and political systems of power. These lantern slides highlight the complexity of our ways of seeing and representing that are embedded into particular historical and ideological systems in which meaning is both shaped and negotiated. This article argues that images are powerful conduits in disseminating and, if unchallenged, maintaining particular notions and ideas.

In order to help the transportation enterprises strengthen their competitiveness, this study proposed a digital photo frame which based on the ARM9 family processor chip S3C2440, Linux operating system and Qt/Embedded, trying to make it different from the traditional frames in terms of function, capacity and operability. It focuses on the hardware circuit and the pivotal part of software which can successfully realize playing many formats of photos like magic lantern by the touch screen and audio files. The result of the experiment shows that the digital photo frame designed in the thesis works steadily, and it is easy to operate as well as it has strong expansibility. By adding some applications to the digital photo frame, it can complete many other functions.
