Dentist solide. The firm dentist. Visitors of this site that have a fear of the dentist are advised to omit this French series of six magic lantern slides. |
|
Unfortunately the first slide is missing.
It probably shows the arriving of the patient at the dentist's.
 Slides have the American format of c. 8 x 10 cm. They are labelled with the name of the publisher: Maison de la Bonne Press, and a hand-written title of the series: Dentiste Solide. |

Also from the dentist on the next magic lantern slides one could wonder if he really deserves the diploma on the wall. |

Reise nach Leibzig. The trip to Leibzich. A funny story told in only 2 slides. They seem to me to be most effective when one of the slides is projected in mirror image. The slides are exceptionally large, 12 cm x 12 cm, and painted by hand. The manufacturer is unknown. |

A funny set of 4 magic lantern slides,
perhaps made by Bamforth, perhaps by an unknown manufacturer, 1880s. Glass with a paper edge, dim. about 8 x 8 cm. Provided with a label with the title of the set 'Attention!'. |

| Attention! | 1. A soldier was seated within the canteen, / Enjoying a mug of good beer | |
 |
 |
 |
| 2. The officer very ungraciously sat / At one end of the seat, as you see | 3. He turned to the soldier, now on the alert, / For anything that might take place | 4. As soon as the order was out of his lips, / The soldier sprang up in a crack |
