This single
slipping magic lantern slide was hand painted and mounted in a wooden frame.
When fully closed we can see a woman sitting by her fire with her bellows on the
knees and when the glass sheet is pulled a man appears behind her while his
reflection is shown in the mirror above the fire. The wooden frame is approx 7
inches by 4 inches (18 x 10 cm). |
