BLOB THE SPIDER NO5 C1890 ANTIQUE Magic Lantern Slide FAIRIES MOTH

Description: BLOB THE SPIDER NO5 C1890 ANTIQUE Magic Lantern Slide FAIRIES MOTH A stunning slide from the set " Blob the spider " or also known as " Adventures of Rosywing, the beautiful fairy " produced by Newton & Co in or before 1888. The slide is hand painted with fantastic detail and vivid colours. I believe the illustrations relate to Charles O Murray's book " Merry elves: or, little adventures in fairyland " produced in 1874. Provenance: Family & descendants of George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle ( He was the last Earl of Carlisle to own Castle Howard ) & the family of Wilfrid Roberts M.P ( his mother, Lady Cecilia was a daughter of the 9th Earl & his sister was Winifred Nicholson, the artist ) A rare find. I cannot recall having other slides relating to faries as well as one that comes with a strong provenance, possibly influencing Winifred Nicholson's work having seen examples. This is really a small work of art in its own right. The slide is approximately 8.2cm X 8.2cm or in inches 3.23" X 3.23" ← ← ←← ← Our shop has over 25000 photographic slides in it - please take a look for similar images← ← ← Ref L579 CAB106 S3 Please be aware that as the slide can be photographed both sides the image may be reversed in error *** International buyers please see my shop front for discounted combined postage rates ***** Please see our positive feedback about our packaging from our many worldwide customers .
