Lantern Slide

MOA: University of British Columbia

3000/78

Square photographic lantern slide made of two pieces of glass, one with the photo printed on it, the other clear, held together by a ‘frame’ of black paper tape. The photo is in shades of brown and shows an historic city street scene. Three and four-storey buildings line both sides of the street, with men in suits standing in front of them. One man is in military uniform and holds a sheathed sword. White smoke puffs from an upper floor.
