‘The peasant, his son, and ass’ in Lantern readings for fairy tales series A (c.1890)
‘The story of the old man, his son, and ass’ in several compilations
The E.G. Wood 1894 catalogue uses the title Old man and ass, and this also appears on labels on the slides seen. The same title is used in the 1888 Indispensable handbook, which refers to 8 slides, though that is probably an error.
11 slides known to exist in private collection
