MINERS GOING DOWN A SHAFT C1873 ANTIQUE Magic Lantern Slide MINING
One of a number of early slides I am listing relating to miners and mining across the world. I believe this is from a set know as \" Underground life: or Mines and miners \" and i would attribute it to the maker Alfred Pumphrey and date it to as a result 1869 - 1873.
The set was re-issued over the years and expanded on by Newton & co in 1888. Most slides have a title on the back around the image, if readable i detail it below. They also have the following \" Copied from mining life by permission of Messrs Chapman + Hall \" Title on this specific slide : \" NO12 MINERS GOING DOWN A SHAFT \" it appears through reseach that a number of the titles changed slightly ie becoming more condensed and the numbering of the slide in later sets also varies so i have titled the slide as best I can. Later sets such as Newtons will have a paper title rather than it being printed on the glass as these are

The slide consists of two glass plates, on that the image is applied to and a second to protect the image. The slide normally has a inner paper border and then the slide is then held together with edging paper.Please be aware that as the slide can be photographed both sides so the image in photo 1 may be reversed in error
