Description: | Lantern slide shows were popular entertainment throughout the 1800s. Travelling showmen gave illustrated performances for crowds. Wealthy Victorians did their own slide shows at home. Slides were sold in sets, each set following a particular theme. Themes included bible stories, fairy tales, historical events, and views of other places. This set shows the story of 'Dick Whittington', although it is kept in the box for 'Cinderella'. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East home life children leisure | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
