Lantern-slides by photographic methods
A 1897 New York manual on making lantern slides by photographic methods, published by the Scovill & Adams Company and aimed at photographers and lecturers. The four pictures are small woodcut decorative headers, not diagrams: ornamental scrollwork framing a central mask, a winged female figure, a bearded face, and a grotesque head with tendrils, each set on an otherwise blank page. A designer might take their symmetrical cartouche layouts and Renaissance-style scroll framing as ready motifs for title panels.
