1912 Bradford Durfee Textile School MA Weaving Gingham Cloth Photo Lantern Slide For Sale

This is a photographic glass magic lantern slide, black and white, labeled, \"Cotton Manufacture. Weaving Gingham Cloth. Bradford Durfee, Textile School, Fall River, Mass. (1912).\" The Bradford Durfee College of Technology was a college located in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was chartered in 1895 as the Bradford Durfee Textile School. It was then incorporated in 1899 and opened in 1904. The school was named after Bradford Durfee (1788-1843), a leading early Fall River industrialist. Slides were meant primarily to be used in schools but are now valued because of their historic photographic views. Lantern slides are one of the best untapped resources of photographs there are. Although once plentiful, few of these slides exist today because over the years they have been destroyed and discarded. Slide is 3 1/4\" x 4\", is in very good condition, and can be viewed by projecting, holding it to the light, or placing it on a light box. This slide can be made into a print or poster. If you would like information on having that done AFTER you purchase the view, please let me know. For more information on magic lanterns and slides go to the web site of the Magic Lantern Society of the US and Canada. I offer a reduced postage amount for multiple items IF you email for the cost. Please remember to do this otherwise you will overpay. Thanks for your business, Bob
