A set of 12 Magic Lantern slides, each 9.5"x3". Each slide projects a mini-story, in 4 sections as it is guided through the Magic Lantern projector. There are forest scenes of animals, children playing, soldiers, folk outside a tavern, exotic travelers with camels in the desert. More pictures available. A wonderful variety of what would captivate a 19th century audience. The 12 slides are contained in a wood frame which had a cracked glass which has been removed. I have cleaned the outer surface of these slides, but some dust is on the surface of the paintings. No damage to the paintings. All paint is intact. This would make a wonderful package combined with my rminst36 listing of a Magic Lantern of the same era. The slides fit that Magic Lantern projector. Slides could be removed from frame and shipped without the frame to reduce shipping costs. Contact me with questions and preference.
