Magic lantern - Punch and Judy

PUNCH
AND
JUDY (2)



Two hand painted mechanical slipping slides depicting the same 'hilarious' theme: Punch maltreating a policeman by battering the poor man on his nose. Both slides are mounted in a wooden frame measuring 5 x 3 (13 x 8 cm) inches.

Comical slipping slide in a mahogany frame, 7" x 4" (18 x 10 cm). The joke is based on the double meaning of the name Punch (Mr Punch + drink composed of sugar, spice and fruit, usually mixed with wine and drunk hot or cold).	Another moving lantern slide... this time showing Mr Punch's growing nose. When the slipping glass is pulled back Mr. Punch's nose gets longer and longer. Circa 1890. Standard size 7 x 4 inches.

Sliding glass plate in a tinplate frame, 4 cm x 12.8 cm, diameter of the picture 2.9 cm. One of a set of 24, made by Ernst Plank (E.P.). This is nr 6, 'Das überraschte Blumenmädchen' (c. 1900). In the first position you can see a girl with a basket full of flowers, in the second position suddenly Punch appears in the place of the flowers.
Another moving picture in a tin frame showing an inquisitive Punch opening a box that contains a strange monstrous bird. The gold coloured frame is decorated with the distinctive E.P.-pattern of checks, points and stars.
	That's all folks!!!
	Motto slide of Punch wishing a 'Good Night' to the audience at the end of the show. Double slipping slide. The scroll unrolls with one movement; Punch's eyes move with the other movement. Dimensions 7" x 4" (18 x 10 cm). More Motto slides.
