Cook describes the oldest, often very primitive painted oblong lantern slides depicting Biblical representations, as follows: 'The drawing is strong and rhytmical, with the heads exaggerated. ... these powerful figures, when cast life-size upon the screen, unconsciously achieve what the most scholarly efforts of the Gothic Revivalists failed to do: they recapture the full, robust flavour of medieval art. They delight us, as medieval imagery delights us, with the marvellous unity of vision they express. The personages of the Scriptures, Christ and the Saints, are presented as grand symbolic figures, and yet they are so much part of every day life that they can be treated with the utmost familiarity and on occasion with ribald humour.'

The accompanying Scripture texts are derived from the King James Bible. This version of the Bible (known in England as the Authorized Version), was prepared by 54 scholars appointed by King James I, June 1604. Extant records show that 47 scholars actually participated. They were organized into six companies, two each working separately at three locations for seven years on sections of the Bible assigned to them. The resulting translation was published in 1611 and was generally accepted as the standard English Bible, used by English-speaking Protestants for more than three centuries.
