Summary
A monochrome gelatine silver glass lantern slide entitled "The Stairway". The image depicts a wooden staircase in an old stone building. 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 right of centre of the slide. Above the image, also behind the glass, is a white label upon which has been handwritten in black ink: "The Stairway". There is a white circle at the top left corner. There is a black paper label affixed at the bottom edge of the slide, upon which is written in white ink: "A.E. Boniface. Class II". The front and back sheets of glass each have a crack from side to side.
