Robinson Crusoe part 3

A set of twelve magic lantern slides mounted in wooden frames, each one with a green paper label, marked 'PATENT ENAMEL SLIDES FOR THE MAGIC LANTERN' and the name of the manufacturer J. Barnard and Son, Makers, London. The slides measure 7" x 4" (18 x 10 cm) and are numbered 1 - 12.
The same series of pictures was also offered in a frameless version of twelve 3.25" square magic lantern slides:
No 1,  Rob with truncheon, feels happier, snoozing up tree. No 2,  Rob a-rafting No 3,  Rob's got the goat. No 4,  Rob & dog, hunting turtle eggs, penguins looking on. No 5,  Rob at work on the boat. No 6,  Rob in new outfit, discovers foot prints in the sand.	No 7,  Rob confronts devil in cave. No 8,  Rob spies ship, lights signal fire. No 9,  Rob back at wreck. No 10, Rob has troubled night. No 11, Rob finds a friend. No 12, Rob and friend prepare dinner.
	This wonderful set of twelve magic lantern slides are in mahogany frames; each one stamped with the name of the maker " Millikin & Lawley 165 Strand, London" They measure 7 x 4 inches (18 x 10 cm) approx.

A set of twelve square 3.25 inch slides, some of them with insets. Perhaps the number of slides was to small to tell the entire story.

		Five slides from another set of twelve square 3.25 inch slides, also provided with insets.
One of more glass strips depicting the Robinson-story, made by Ernst Plank.
	Twelve square 3.25" magic lantern slides, probably English. Captions printed on small labels at the bottom or edge of the slides.

	Finally a funny parody on the Robinson Crusoe story: Mickey Crusoe, a set of colour glass slides with Mickey Mouse playing the part of Robinson. Made in England by Ensign Limited by arrangement with Walt Disney-Mickey Mouse Ltd., early 1930’s. These slides were meant to be used in the Mickey Mouse Projector.
