Antique & Vintage Magic Lantern Slides

This is a magic lantern slide that is 3¼ x 3¼ inches (83x83mm).

It shows an older bearded agricultural worker standing outdoors holding a spade horizontally across his body. He is wearing a dark hat, a buttoned cardigan, trousers, and gaiters over his boots. The background features a wooden shed or barn, a rustic timber fence, and bare trees. The slide has a black arched mask with red binding tape around the edges. Handwritten text along the top edge reads 'W. J. Burdfield'.
