This lot of 32 slides is mostly of a historical nature, but most of the views are of engravings and prints having to do with the Civil War. There are several views of period prints of Civil War battles and engagements. There is one slide of Winfield Scott Hancock as an older gentleman. It is likely these magic lantern slides were used as part of a history lesson and date to the end of the early 19th century or to the early 20th century. CONDITION: most of the slides are in good, viewable condition. A couple may have flaws in the emulsion, and four have cracks. (02-23662/BF). NON-GUN. $50-100.
