UAM - AI Test JULY
Collection of approximately 50-60 glass lantern slides housed in a vintage wooden storage case. The slides feature paper labels detailing astronomical subjects, including nebulae and clusters, with references to observatories such as Mount Wilson and Lick. Dates on the labels range predominantly from the early 20th century (e.g., 1910, 1920, 1935) with some possibly earlier (1893). The case exhibits numbered slots. Included is a partially damaged cardboard box labeled “BARNET COL 1 LANTERN PLATE” from “ELLIOTT & SONS, Ltd., Barnet, England,” containing photographic development instructions. The case, box, and slides show wear and discoloration consistent with age, and the case has some structural damage.
