From a collection of magic lantern slides showing famous music composers & places in their lives. All black & white or clear images (shot 'lying down' on a piece of white paper, please excuse 'white flash' from the camera lighting), size about 3 1/4 x 4 in., 1/8 in. thick, glass on both sides, with thin black material or paper or tape covering all edges. Each magic lantern slide image is single or double matted with black borders or paper or tape on inside of glass (on back side can see reverse side of tape or glue on inner surface).

This slide shows the house in Salzburg, Germany where Mozart was born, and on one side a piece of paper has been glued onto slide labelling it this way, along with the written number '20' (probably indicating its place in the collection). On the slide itself underneath the building appear the words, 'Permission of J.B. Millet Co., from 'Famous Composers and their works'.' Slide is in wonderful condition, no cracks or chips evident. When looked at at an angle in bright light you can see on the surfaces of the glass some very minor scratches, lines, rubbings, dots, fingerprint, etc., but nothing unexpected for a piece of this age and nothing that detracts from its beauty. There appears to be a small bubble in the glass on one side.

A wonderful piece which a crafty person could mount or attach wire to so as to possibly hang in a window.

This slide shows the house in which Joseph Haydn was born in Rohrau, Austria, and on one side a piece of paper has been glued/taped onto slide labelling it this way, along with the written number '16' (probably indicating its place in the collection). You can see in the images that the tape used on this label goes onto the reverse side of the slide, that the label itself is wider than the border area (you can see this as a line blocking part of the image on one side when looking at the second/reverse side image below), and that on the bottom edge of the label the two corners are bent or folded upwards, with one side showing a tear.
