Single slipper lantern slide. A long, rectangular wooden frame holds two glass plates side by side, one stationary (part b) and the other moveable (part c). The plate that would be stationary (now loose) has a circular image at centre showing a vibrantly coloured, printed scene of a city with grand architecture in the rear-ground, and a river with a sturdy brick bridge in the mid-ground. The area around the image is black. Part c is a similarly sized, moveable pane of glass printed at bottom centre with a variety of small black boats and at middle with a train puffing smoke. When the pane is moved back and forth, it places the train on the bridge and moves the boats into view on the river. Stamped in wood: "Newton / 5 Fleet St / Temple.Bar / London"
