  Un demenagement à la cloche de bois (A moonlight flit). |
||
 |
Double magic lantern slipping slide, hand-painted by Desh, one of the rare
miniaturist lantern slide painters still famous today (c. 1880). The frame is made of mahogany. The two moving glass slides are fixed in a brass frame. They show a guy on a balcony moving furniture. A domestic looks at him. But the cord breaks and a chair falls down on the head of the poor man! On the label is inscribed “Un demenagement à la cloche de bois” (This French expression means “to do a moonlight flit”). Sizes: 11.4 by 4.3 inches (or 29cm*11cm). |
