Near East Relief Edward Van Altena Magic Lantern Slide Diabekir Victim Of A Turk
Item History & Price
Found in recently acquired old collection of Magic Lantern slides. Photo depicts what could be a woman who was beaten by a Turk and has a wound on her neck. The slide was produced by Near East Relief. One side reads " Diabekir Victim of a Turk " The opposite side reads " Edward Van Altena ". Condition is excellent . If you look below her left shoulder you can see a line that looks like a crack. I cannot feel a crack on the glass either front or back so I thin...k it is in the photo. Without taking the piece apart there's no way of telling. However, in my experience you would feel the line and I do not at all so I suspect it to be an abnormality in the photo . Please see photo of close up. Crisp and clear. Measures approx. 4x3.5" or standard size for these. I have other slides listed from this collection so be sure to check them out.
