Summary
Six slim rectangular glass magic lantern slides comprising different groups. Each slide is edged with coloured paper, five orange and one blue. Two of the slides each have four roundels depicting different birds in colour. The magic lantern slide edged in blue paper depicts figures carrying loads on the left-hand side and figures standing talking on the right-hand side. The remaining three slides edged in orange paper are possibly part of a set, one is marked 'Taf.I' and depicts ships at sea; one 'Taf.X' depicts children paddling and fishing on a lake and another sitting on a bridge over a stream. That labelled 'Taf.XII' depicts a series of figures in the snow. The letters 'EP' appear in the top right-hand corner of these last three slides. Total number of items is 6.
