Series III. Lantern Slides, Undated

The glass lantern slides in this series are predominantly color images depicting plant specimens, horticultural subjects, and scenic views. Lantern slides were used for image projection from the latter half of the nineteenth century until the 1950s, when they were replaced by transparencies and 35-millimeter slides. The items in Series III are presumed to be from the early twentieth century. The slides measure 3.25 inches by 4 inches and are individually labeled with the plant name or a subject term. Box 22 includes images of Breeze Hill. The series is arranged alphabetically by subject. Most slides are in good condition, but there are occasional cracked or broken slides throughout the series.
