Antique Mechanical Magic Lantern Slip Slide, Fan Dancer, 1890s

Description: An antique magic lantern slipping slide depicting a fan dancer. Such slides were developed by lanternists to captivate their audiences through creating the impression of movement and the passing of time. Here, two painted glass slides are mounted in a wood frame, with the 'action' being provided by moving one glass - the 'slipping' glass - over the other, fixed, glass. It most likely dates to around 1890. 18cm x 10cm. OFFERS: If considering making an offer please bear in mind that while eBay has now removed all charges for private sellers, its charges for business sellers continue to rise. For me, these currently stand at around 24%, making eBay by far the most expensive of the three platforms that I currently sell on. If you do make an offer, please do not be offended if it is rejected. I strive to offer only the best quality items at the most competitive prices that I can. Overseas buyers are very welcome, import charges may apply. This item will be carefully packed and promptly dispatched.
