Lantern Slide Collection



To members of the listserv:
Here is the announcement about the Junior League's lantern slide collection
for those who may have missed it.
The Junior League of the City of New York owns a collection of lantern
slides that we would like to have appraised and then sold.  We are looking
for an appraiser and or a dealer in lantern slides in the New York
metropolitan area.  The collection encompasses approximately 940 slides,
only about 20 of which are damaged and the rest of which are in good
condition.  They portray black and white photographs and prints, color
tinted photographs, color prints and illustrations, maps, stills from what
appear to be films of re-dramatizations of historical events, and
reproductions of works of art.  Almost all are labeled.  They feature a
range of subject matter primarily from American history: the history of
Plymouth Colony, the Revolutionary War, locomotives, American landscapes,
events in Native American history, scenes from the Lewis and Clark
expedition, the life and presidency of Abraham Lincoln, Civil War battles,
printed lyrics to popular songs, events in the history of New York State,
images and photographs of New York City, the life and presidency of Theodore
Roosevelt, and even 2 photographs (in lantern slide format) of the
presidential inaugurations of Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy.
