Magic lantern - Little Red Ring Hood

Little Red Riding Hood
part 2

		This disc slide is made by Ernst Plank and measures 3.25 inches (8.5 cm) in diameter. The fairy tale of 'Rothkäpchen' was also available on a disc of 4.33 inches (11 cm) in diameter and also fitted with a protecting cover glass and/or a metal rim around the glass. Those larger samples were provided with eight pictures pro disc. That makes clear why some pictures seem to be missing on this disc.

		Another disc slide made by another manufacturer. In the centre it is signed "J.S." for "Jean Schoenner" and "Made in Germany". It is titled "RED CAPE - ROTHKAPPCHEN - BONNET ROUGE" from "SERIE NO. I". A metal frame protects the glass.
