Portraits of unidentified actor in various character roles

A set of 14 square photographic magic lantern slides made by G. Chapman, 50 Wellington Mews, Hastings, England. The slides are provided with two elongated labels, the bottom one shows the name of the maker, the top one is blank. Maybe this label once had a title or the name of the owner on it.
The set was probably made to order of the actor as a kind of portfolio to show which different character roles he could play and the set was never commercially available.
