Slide set: Natural phenomena: or the wonders of the world (lecture: Newton & Co., 83 slides, in/before 1888)
Newton & Co., England
in stock of Newton & Co., 1888-1912 (item ref. V)
reissued as Natural phenomena (lecture: Newton & Co., 49 slides, in/before 1937)
see generic title Natural phenomena (generic set title – 10 different versions are known)
The reference in the Indispensable handbook to the optical lantern mentions 62 slides. The 1899 Newton catalogue lists 82 slides; the 1909 and 1913 editions add an additional Slide 83 but do not include Slides 5, 14 and 28.
Slides 15-18 are dated 1892 in their titles, so if the 1888 reference to 62 slides is correct there must have been some renumbering of the slides when those and others were added before 1899.
1 slide known to exist in private collection
