Magic lantern - Work for a living, part 2


Work for a living part 2

The photographer. Charming hand painted single slipping magic lantern slide, dimensions 7" x 4" (18 x 10 cm). Probably the resulting photograph does not match the subject's expectations.
	"Adventure at the photographer's", c. 1900, approx. 4,2" x 4,5" (10.5 x 11.5 cm). Wooden framed. Another slide depicting a photographer in action. Frightened by the aggressive dog the poor man makes havoc of his studio.
	Victorian hand painted magic lantern slipping slide showing the image of a lanternist. When the slipping glass is operated the projected image of a Dutch windmill appears. It measures 7"x 4" (18 x 10 cm).

I told you the barber in action was a favourite theme for mechanical slipping slides. Here is one of his colleagues at work. The slide is marked: Carpenter & Westley 24 Regent St London. Sizes: c. 7" x 4" (18 x 10 cm).

A nice hand painted English magic lantern slipping slide showing an organ grinder and his monkey. When the slipping glass is moved the monkey jumps on the organ. Sizes: 18 cm x 10 cm or 7" x 4".
