EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, titled "Mottos - God Bless the King and Queen," dates back to approximately 1895 and is a beautiful addition to any historical or antique collection. The slide features intricately designed cameos of a regal king and queen, their faces framed by ornate gold borders. Above their images, the words "God Bless the King" and "God Bless the Queen" are elegantly inscribed in flowing script. The lantern slide was likely used for educational or entertainment purposes during presentations or lectures, as lantern slides were a popular medium for visual aids during this time period. The image of the monarchs and their mottos would have been projected onto a screen or white sheet, providing a captivating visual complement to a speaker's words. The use of cameos in this design adds an extra layer of sophistication and historical significance. Cameos were popular collectibles during the Victorian era, and the use of this design element in a lantern slide would have appealed to the aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The "Mottos - God Bless the King and Queen" lantern slide is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the visual culture of the late 19th century. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of antique lantern slides or historical ephemera.
