 Hand-made single slipping slide. The operator of the magic lantern would initially show to the audience an image of a man peaceably reading a newspaper while a golfer in the background lines up a drive his ball. After allowing the audience to look at this image for long enough to register the scene, the projectionist would slide the back glass plate along the frame. This would have the effect of removing a blacked-out area from one part of the image and introducing a blacked-out area into another, creating the illusion of the ball flying towards the newspaper reader and knocking off his top hat. |
  The frame measures 4 inches by 7 inches (10 x 18 cms approx). The visible area of the glass is just over 3 inches square (75mm x 75mm approx). |

comes down and captures a kneeling man who appears to be asking her to marry him
and the net probably represents her "big catch". | |
