Thirty-six Magic Lantern Glass Slides, each 3-1/8-inch square, black and white positive images. Scenes include people and places outside the US, with some from Capetown and Johannesburg in South Africa, and the government building in Pretoria. Other scenes include harvesting and loading wagons, mining carts, a railroad, and individuals and groups of people. There is even an ostrich farm. There are three slides with verses to Christian hymns, one with the text of a prayer, another with a crucifix, and two images of individual men in priestly attire. One slide credits copy permission from the Illustrated London News. This is an interesting exploration of the world through the lens of a century-old camera.
