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".
	Dutch milkman with handcart. A wonderful hand-tinted coloured slide showing a Dutch milkman standing proudly beside his handcart. The cart is loaded with bottles and two large bright copper urns. The sides of the cart read "De Landbouw" ("The Agriculture"). It measures 3.25" square.
