[n.d., c.1820.]
Brown and white papers trimmed and overlaid. Image 145 x 185mm (5¾ x 7¼"), with card borders stuck on. Tissue over moon burst.
A transparency, with the image of towers, trees, bridge and figures made up of darker paper, so the sky and waterfall are lit up. The reverse has scorch marks, suggesting someone held this item too close to a fire, possibly causing the moon tissue to crack.
Ex: collections of the Spencer Sisters & the Hon. Christopher Lennox Boyd.
