Christmas Magic Lantern Slide
This small magic lantern slide is a delightful window into 19th century Christmas. A small Christmas tree sits on a round table surrounded by gifts. In addition to a doll, books, and a drum there is a green magic lantern on the table and a rocking horse on the floor beside the table. A woman, perhaps the grandmother, holds a small child. The father in a blue robe and red cap holds additional gifts including a gun and sword. Mother runs toward a bed crowded with four children.
I have posted a detail of the table as well.
