Beschreibung

8 figures identified in ink, each 210 x 130 mm. or smaller, together with a small note of directions, enclosed in contemporary brown paper wrapper inscribed "Glass. Mrs Harrison Bagworth." with remains of three old wax seals. A particularly nice example of this parlour game, the figures are: Napoleon, Sir Walter Scott, Kossuth the Hungarian Chief, Prince Albert, Lord Byron, Shakespeare, a Cat Head and a Dog Head. "Directions. To be held between the candle and the wall or over a sheet of white Paper, by elevating the candle above them will enlarge the pictures and correctly display the Portraits." A William Bagworth, gent, is listed at Bagworth Park, Leicestershire in the 1846 Directories.
