Oh good, I was writing a whole bit that wasn't wrong, but wasn't right either. Good work.

 

THAT is very cool!!!!! Is the design in the middle made of a colored paper??? It's ringing a HUGE bell in my mind....but not quite sure....others I'm sure will know.....I DO remember back in the 60's or 70's Mom had acquired a box full of that kind of stuff, some were like a stained glass, with images, some told.....like stories, some looked like yours......she eventually sold the box full at one of her barn sales.....I don't think any of us kept any of them.......aside from all that @Fid posted in his link, these two kinds in particular I DO remember!!!!

 

these are for laterna magica. best known around here are the ones by Bing Nürnberg (GBN).

Thank you!!! There were boxes of them!! But to the best of my recollection, we never saw any kind of lantern or anything that they could be shown in......they were very perplexing to us!!!! But also very cool!!

 

yes i have a box that has all these old slides in , there is about 40 of them. the design in the middle is made from glass.
