Extra-Wide Magic Lantern Slides · Carlson Fable Collection

Title: Extra-Wide Magic Lantern Slides
Description: 1890? Three extra-long colored magic lantern slides showing La Fontaine's fables. Two fables per slide. 10½" x 2½". $32.04 from nanicohen through Ebay, June, 21.

Again, the color work in these slides is strong, even after all this time. The two titles are in cursive in a text-box to the left, and the two fable scenes to the right play out almost as two aspects of one scene. Beautiful craftsmanship! And very fragile!

Monkey and Dolphin/Man with Wooden Idol
FM/Horse and Stag
