This is a black and white glass advertising magic lantern slide reading, "IT TAKES THE RING TO KEEP THE GIRL. Buy Your Holiday Gifts at.." The style of the graphic is definitely Art Nouveau. Slide was meant to be projected on the screen of a theatre, vaudeville house, or other auditorium during intermission periods to advertise local merchants. The bottom of the slide is blank so that the name of the local store could be written in with pen or pencil. Size: 10 x 8.3 cm.
Love unto Death (first series). This large set of slides consists of two series, each containing 12 pictures. The 24 slides form the complete story, which has been composed as a Service of Song. The two sets are published by Theobald & Co. between 1900 and 1905. It starts with: No 1. A group of gipsies seated on the heath at their evening meal. Leading actors are Conrad, a boy who although not exactly a gipsy, travels with them, and Norah who becomes his girl friend.
