The assortment includes fifty-four slides in fixed frames and twenty-eight manually articulated pieces, featuring comical scenes and historic arctic expedition imagery, with several containing glass panels, paper labels, metal levers, and mechanical components. The timber frames display visible wear at the joints, with five or six items requiring gluing. Most slides measure 18cm by 10cm, while a few measure 16cm by 10cm. In a contemporary home, this collection suits display within a cabinet or upon a shelf as part of a curated antique optical or photographic collection.
