Part of a large collection of over 900 original late 19th/early 20thC photographic glass magic lantern slides I am listing covering wide area of themes, please see my shop for detail (I am listing them starting 13th December 2023, they should all be on by end of February 2024). They are all 100% original slides and not modern images.  I crop them down on the main image in order to show just the photographic portion of the slide.   Please note that while I endeavour to take the best image possible, they are usually a touch sharper to the naked eye.   I would be more than happy to combine postage for multiple purchases.   All UK postage is free no matter how many slides you purchase.  All slides under £20 value are sent by standard mail non-tracked service, all slides over this amount are sent by a recorded method.  All of the slides are the standard 3 1/4 inch size (83mm)


ITEM DESCRIPTION -  An original photographic magic lantern slide labelled 'a November Afternoon' and showing a punt on the river scene.

Part of a selection of slides I have in my eBay shop by the famous Victorian photographer Graystone Bird of Bath.  The majority of the slides I have by him are of the romantic rural type showing young ladies in idyllic English country settings (I think he took most of those in the Devon and Cornwall area), but there are other subjects as well, please see my shop category 'Graystone Bird' for more.


A note on condition and how I grade my slides - The majority of my slides are over 100 years old, and as such some minor imperfections can be expected.  This can be in the form of a touch of loss to the paper edging, some minor wear to the photo, perhaps a touch of discolouration or light clouding at the edges (which will you will be able to see on the main photo).    I won't individually mention these very minor issues as they are to be expected.  If however there are any serious issues such as thin cracks to the glass, chips, major loss to the paper edges that require some tape to secure the slide, serious clouding etc. then I will highlight this in the condition report.
