UNIDENTIFIED LIFE MODEL 01   (fl. 1890s-1900s) – slides 2-4, 6-7, 9

Notes

The 1909 Walter Tyler catalogue attributes this set to their maker 'a', generally taken to be Tyler themselves - this is either a typo or possibly indicates another version of the set. Alternatively it's possible that Rider made sets to commission by Tyler; the illustrated slides are clearly by Rider, based on their models and visual style.

The slide titles here are from the Peter Feathers catalogue; no other title lists are yet known.
