I forwarded the question to Terry Borton of the American Magic- Lantern
Theater. Here is his reply:

Lantern slides are really very east to
copy if what you want is the image, and you can make excellent copies.
Simply put the slide on a light box, screen around it to block the
excess light, and take a photo from a camera mounted directly above it. We
use a digital camera,
which can give you fabulous photos if you use high
res. It will take a little experimenting to get the right settings, but
the nice thing about digital is that the experimenting is free.
We use this method to photo slides for eBay. You can get a sense of the
quality by visiting one of our items at
