Tint some of John Davidson’s lantern slides

John Davidson was an avid photographer and lecturer. In his day, one way to capture images and show them to larger groups of people was to have lantern slide shows. Davidson mounted a positive image between two pieces of glass and shone a light source behind the image to project an enlarged version onto a wall or screen. To make his slides more appealing and realistic, he hand-tinted many of them with a translucent paint.
