Summary
A monochrome gelatine silver glass lantern slide entitled "Old Folkestone". The image depicts an old building viewed from the street, with a ladder and boxes outside. Two sheets of glass, 83 mm x 83 mm, one of which carries the image and the other is a cover glass, bound together with black paper tape. Behind the cover glass there is a black and white geometric/grid and circle patterned paper mask over the image with square corners. The image is framed off centre in this mask, being positioned at the bottom of the slide with a wide border above. Above the image, also behind the glass, is a white label upon which has been handwritten in black ink: "Old Folkestone". There is a white circle at the top left corner.
