Magic Lantern Slide BRITISH OFFICERS C1885 PHOTO WILLOUGHBY WALLACE HOOPER BURMA

TITLE: 1. BRITISH OFFICERS ON BOARD THE TENASSERIM 

One of a number of slides I am listing of images taken by photographer Willoughby Wallace Hooper documenting the Third Anglo Burmese War  They were published in 1887 in various formats; the lantern slides being probably the rarest surviving medium. 

The lantern slide has preserved the condition of the image well as its protected behind glass giving a superior image to that of other mediums in my opinion. 

The slide has a paper title as well as a hand written title that looks to have been added at a later date.

Also identified as Willoughby Wallace Hoopers work using the British Library site, they have this titled as " Group of officers of the Burmah Expeditionary Force on board the "Tenasserim", which left Madras on 3rd Nov, 1885, and arrived at Rangoon on the morning of 8th Nov, having on board 4/1 RA and Q/1 RA "

Examples of Willoughby Wallace Hooper's work have previously been sold at Bonhams and Christie's. 

The slide is approximately 8.2cm X 8.2cm or in inches 3.23" X 3.23"
