A set of 19 square magic lantern slides based on the story of little Emily, as described in chapter 21 of Dickens' novel 'David Copperfield'. As was fairly common at the time, the book initially had a much longer title: The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (which he never meant to be published on any account). Like most of Dickens's books, it first appeared in serial form, in this case in the period 1848–1850.	Little Em'ly

18. They drew him to my feet -- insensible -- dead	19. I saw him laying with his head upon his arm

David arrives in London very hungry.
