Four stately portraits of distinguished people. One strip of a set of twelve, marked 'T12' and 'G.C & Co. N.', made by George Carette & Co., Nuremberg. Seizes 11" x 3.5" (28 x 9 cm), which is very large for this kind of slides.
Decalcomania. Ernst Plank (E.P.) marked 'Taf. VIII'. (See also: After the 'Elfstedentocht')
Four of the figures portrayed above can be seen on another E.P. slide. It's remarkable that this time these persons are depicted less ugly than on the first slide. Did they complain?
Some other members of the family.
