| The slide is provided with a slipping piece of glass at the back and a lever piece at the front. |
The mouse eating man. Obviously in this collection 'The mouse eating, or rat eating, man' may not be absent. The fixed hand painted glass shows an image of a man in his bed dressed in striped pyjamas and nightcap.  The slide has the makers or sellers label attached advertising 'G. Gray Opticians, 11 Crooked Lane, London Bridge'. More mouse eating men. |
|
 When the front glass is moved the mans mouth opens and closes..... |
 ..... and when the back glass is pulled out the mouse or rat appears running over the sheet. O dear! It goes straight into the mans wide open mouth. |

This unusual mechanic magic lantern slide measures 7 by 4.5
inches (c. 18 x 11.5 cm). It is nicely hand painted. The central picture of the boy is stationary.
By turning the handle there appear 11 smaller pictures, all hand painted, each of which has two rhyming
words, so maybe this slide illustrates a children's poem called IF. |

Funny hand painted lever slide showing an amusing scene of
a dentist pulling a patient's tooth. When the brass lever is pushed, the
patient's head is pulled off. Never show this magic lantern slide to them who
have an innate fear of dentists. Dentists were a favourite subject for the makers of mechanical lantern slides. You find more of them at 'Work for a living', a nice collection of slides on the livelihood of our grand- and great-grandparents. The frame size is 7" x 4" (c. 18 x 10 cm) with the slide itself being 3.25" (8.2 cm) in diameter. |
