‘The fine art gallery’ in Readings in prose and verse

“This set of slides is a comic skit or brochure on some of the celebrated paintings, etc., that have appeared in our various art galleries, and, properly worked, causes a great deal of amusement. The lecturer should first describe the scene something after the brief style following, with any embellishments that may occur to him; and then, when he has worked his audience up to the necessary pitch, throw the picture upon the screen.”
