Lot 160 , A set of twenty four Alice in Wonderland magic lantern slides,

A set of twenty four Alice in Wonderland magic lantern slides, in original box
Estimate £150-250

Some wear to the original box, light scratches and scuffs, back hinge is getting a little delicate, leather straps are perished and broken through, there is a split to the front right corner, all of the slides are numbered in the top corner, and these run through from the title plate through to number 24, number 23 has a broken away lower right corner and a crack running from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock. All others are in good condition. The way the slides sit in the box means that there is a gap perhaps implying that the set ran to a slightly higher number possibly another 3 or 4 in the set.
