This set of 16 slides was made by York &
Son, England, as indicated by a small triangular label in the upper left
corner. This set was released in shades of grey; more expensive versions
were coloured. 'Me and Jim: or our first quarrel' is a dramatic 1897 poem written under the pen name 'Jims Wife' (the pseudonym of Ada Martin, later Mrs. Clement Nugent Jackson). It was published in the collection [Gordon League Ballads for Working Men and Women] and later adapted into populair magic lantern slide lecture sets for public recitations. |
