Vintage Glass lantern Slides

SALES @ MY EBAY SHOP --- CLICK HERE---

Whilst looking for things to sell to raise funds for my 'short' college course, I came across some old glass slide photographs. I cannot remember where I bought them from, some auction or other?

Although I have owned them for some time I never really looked at them closely until now. On the corner of each is a label " Makers Newton & Cairns 43 Museum St. London WCI". I had to remove a little of the surround to reveal this label.

I did a little research and all I could find at first was a website with the following information and it looks like Cairns was Recorded as a daguerreian in Hillsborough, N.C. 1850. Newton was listed as a daguerreian in Hillsborough, N.C., 1857

Not sure if this was the correct 'makers' and having looked for more information found a listing in a auction catalogue that read:

• Magic Lantern and glass slides c1900, consisting of Lantern by Newton & Co Makers London W.I. and approx 200 glass slides of Europe some Australia.

I then found a web site that identifies the business address and the company and this looks more like the actual 'makers'. Its an interesting read and its about three quarters of the way down the page.

On one of the glass slides is a sign which reads "Herbesthal" which if correct is in Belgium.

I will have to see what else I can find but have to get on with Ebaying for the time being. I did find this nice old illustration of a vintage cinema projector in an old 1930's book that I was 'breaking'.

What do you think of it 'framed' its only a 'mock' up using a framing suppliers website but I think its neat. I was thinking of selling the print on my Ebay along with some old advertising I have for cameras. Its been a while since I have bought any old film cameras or photography equipment but will be at an auction this weekend so who knows?
