Summary
A monochrome gelatine silver glass lantern slide, depicting a life-model enacted scene of a wedding. A clergyman, bride, groom and father are standing together. In the background are bible verse posters on the wall. The bride and groom and holding hands. The slide is probably part of a series depicting a narrative. Single sheet of glass, 83 mm x 83 mm. The negative has been masked so that there is a circular mask within the photographic image. There would probably originally have been a cover glass bound to this slide with tape, but this is missing.
