Description: This set of four magic lantern glass slides depicts two heavily caricatured black men in a boxing match. Made at a time when ignorance was heralded as humour, these poignant images remain an important piece of social history. These slides were made either in the United States or the United Kingdom in the late 19th century. Some dirt is evident, especially on slide number 2, but the images still come up bright and bold when illuminated. Each slide has been delicately hand-painted and measures 3 1/4 inches x 3 1/4 inches. Postage rates are given for the USA and UK. Buyers from elsewhere may use the ebay Global Shipping Program or contact me for shipping rates.
