privately made
see also [Manchester Museum Collection: mythical beasts] (lecture: privately made, 59 slides, n.d.)
The mounting and binding style of most of these slides is similar to that in the Mythical beasts set (Lucerna 3010598), and this set may have formed a companion lecture to that one. Several slides from this set were found in the same box as the other lecture.
This lecture appears to have been given in the 1960s, and (to judge from the images) was a survey or discussion of the various claimed sightings of the ‘monster’, along with possible explanations based on animals and natural phenomena.
