Description
Three standard glass slides set into a long wooden frame, separated by black tape. Wood frame has a wire handle at one end held in place by two metal nails. One side of the images has a handwritten label that states "Photographs of a solar eclipse", and another that states "x15". Two other labels have worn away. Three on the reverse side have also worn away. This side is also inscribed with handwritten pencil marks. Each of the images of the sun is marked with a cross to indicate how far the moon has passed in front of it.
