Description
Wood-framed glass sliding-type lantern slide. The back plate depicts a clown in a contortionist position. The front glass plate is partially blacked out with paint but when pulled to the right, the image alters so that the clown's head, with a face that has changed from happy to sad, has been removed from her neck and sits on top of her feet.
