John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's progress (London: 1678)
see generic title The Pilgrim's progress (generic set title – 38 different versions are known)
BUNYAN, John (1628-1688) – slides 1-4
Assuming they refer to the same set (the slide titles are identical), this has two entries in the Ivens catalogue. The second entry adds three extra slides, marks 28 of the slides as Life Model subjects, and refers to a published reading. This listing is repeated in the Medland catalogue.
A number of the slides marked as Life Model in the Ivens catalogue are actually drawings, at least in the set in the RAMM Collection.
This set appears to have been dropped from the stock of Riley Brothers at some stage, probably at the time they produced their own version of this subject in 1895.
1 slide known to exist in private collection
