Vintage lot of antique hand-colored glass slide strips featuring comic, children’s, and animated scenes. These appear to be magic lantern or early projection slide strips dating from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
Includes multiple assorted strips with illustrated character portraits, children, animals, winter scenes, and comic action sequences. A great group for collectors of optical toys, pre-cinema photography, Victorian ephemera, or early animation history.
Condition varies throughout the lot. Slides show age-related wear including edge wear, emulsion loss, scratches, spotting, dirt, chips, and general handling wear. Some strips may be incomplete. Sold as found and as shown in photographs.
Interesting display and research lot with strong visual appeal despite condition issues.
Ships securely packed.
