Show Administrative InformationPhysical Description: A wooden cabinet with six drawers of 534 lantern slides.
Scope and Contents: Lantern slides (color, a few black and white) depict images of largely Japanese and some Chinese landscapes, buildings and human activity presumable pre-1930. The provenance of this collection is currently unclear. No documentation exists that this was in fact Florence Bell Robinson's collection and some clues point to the fact that these slides may have been part of the department slide collection.
