Slide set: The fatal sausage machine (comic: Bamforth & Co., 7 slides, 1891)

Descriptive data for this set (listed below slide images)
Slide 1
A gentleman of scientific turn, / The wonder of his friends desired to earn
Slide 2
While from the little aperture below / The finished sausage soon begins to flow
Slide 3
And while they wait, they chat with interest keen, / Upon the merits of the new machine
Slide 4
That when the three at last chance to look round, / Their friend half through the sausage mill is found
Slide 5
They rush with eager steps to extricate -- / Too late, alas! -- their friend from his sad fate;
Slide 6
Their senses seem to have quite flown away, / Or surely they'd have tried the works to stay
Slide 7
'Twould puzzle me their misery to paint, / But mercifully all the three now faint
