BLOB THE SPIDER NO6 C1890 ANTIQUE Magic Lantern Slide FAIRIES WOODPECKER INSECT
A stunning slide from the set \" Blob the spider \" or also known as \" Adventures of Rosywing, the beautiful fairy \" produced by Newton & Co in or before 1888. The slide is hand painted with fantastic detail and vivid colours.I believe the illustrations relate to Charles O Murray\'s book \" Merry elves: or, little adventures in fairyland \" produced in 1874. Provenance: Family & descendants of George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle ( He was the last Earl of Carlisle to own Castle Howard ) & the family of Wilfrid Roberts M.P ( his mother, Lady Cecilia was a daughter of the 9th Earl & his sister was Winifred Nicholson, the artist ) A rare find. I cannot recall having other slides relating to faries as well as one that comes with a strong provenance, possibly influencing Winifred Nicholson\'s work having seen examples. This is really a small work of art in its own right.The slide is approximately 8.2cm X 8.2cm or in inches 3.23\" X 3.23\"
