Mechanical magic lantern slide showing a working water mill and two fishermen walking over a bridge. This is a combined single rackwork slide and a single slipping slide.
The rackwork slide gives movement to the water mill by the use of two glasses, one revolving in front of the other. The revolving glass with the image of the wheel is operated by means of a crank. The slipping slide is hand painted with the image of the fishermen which is drawn slowly over the water mill slide, giving the illusion of the two men walking over the bridge.
