Save our souls

This is a boldly illustrated glass slide featuring the heroic lifeboat men saving the souls of a ship in distress.

 

The slide is from some time between the late 19th century and early 20th century. It would have been viewed using a Magic Lantern, an early type of image projector.

 

This image is part of the Tyne & Wear archives & museums set Our Life-Boat Men.
