c1920 Dr. E D Kohlstedt of Methodist Missions & Scholarship Men Lantern Slide:
$1.99

This is a photographic glass magic lantern slide, beautifully colored, labeled, \"Where America Began. Dr. Edward Delor Kohlstedt, Exec. Bd. Home Missions. with Scholarship Men.\" Dr. Edward Delor Kohlstedt of Philadelphia, president of the home missions council of America and executive secretary of the board of home missions of the methodist church in 1913 later became the Executive Director of this group. I believe this photo was taken in California. This is from a set of slides produced for the Methodist home mission societies by \"Committee on Conservation and Advance, 740 Rush St., Chicago, Ills.\" A set would be shown to a church congregation or some other appropriate group and then the collection plate would be passed to request money for the Methodist home mission society. . Magic Lantern Slides are one of the best untapped resources for antique photographs there are. Slides were usually discarded after a relatively short period of use so are difficult to find. 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 photograph or poster. If you would like information on having that done AFTER you purchase the view, please let me know. You can learn more about magic lanterns and slides by going to www.magiclanternsociety.org. 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
