A collection of 176 black and white glass magic lantern slides mostly of Scottish football interest circa 1930, With just a handful of slides that are non-football related, printed positive, including match action, team line-up, crowd and stadium views, player portraits, the Ibrox Disaster, with damaged, examples, all 8cm., 3 1/4in. square This photographic archive represents a fascinating insight into football from the early part of this century. The images are in positive rather than negative and cover the era from the late 19th Century up to circa 1930. The images are most likely taken from newspaper and press negatives of the respective eras and are likely to have been taken, on the whole, from the Glasgow Herald and Evening Times Collection around 1930. Whilst not unique, it is unusual to find a large collection such as this from a single source.
