This archive comprises a collection of late 19th and early 20th-century photographic artifacts, including approximately 20 to 25 magic lantern slides and several large-format glass plate negatives. The magic lantern slides are of the standard 3.25 x 3.25 inch format, featuring a notable hand-coloured satirical illustration titled Woman’s Views on Free Trade & Protection from the Fiscal Policy Series. This specific slide provides a unique social commentary on contemporary economic debates through the depiction of bloomers. The collection also includes topographical and documentary subjects, such as a town square with a church steeple, a bustling market scene with figures carrying baskets, and a detailed view of a horse-drawn cart. The glass plates include mixed sizes, appearing to range from quarter-plate to half-plate formats. The entire collection is housed in a period wooden storage box with internal slots and a numbered index.
