These are original color lantern slides taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1921. They show three views of the garden of the house belonging to George Hoadly and Katherine Hinkle Ingalls at 154 East 78th St. (between Lexington and Third Avenues). It's hard to imagine such a bucolic place at that location, but 1921 was another world.

Johnston entered these and other slides in the 1922 City Gardens Club of New York photo exhibition at the New York Camera Club.

The Great Migration & "The Negro in the city" lantern slides, 1922?

Women at dressmaking class, St. Mark's Church, Chicago, 1922?

This set of lantern slides documents the daily life of African Americans during the early years of the Great Migration from the rural American South, as well as outreach activities conducted by the Methodist Episcopal Church (MEC) to assist them with finding work and social services. The first slides show scenes of Black sharecroppers picking cotton and processing sugar. Other slides show African Americans at work in northern cities.

A majority of the slides show African American Methodist Episcopal church buildings in cities, such as Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., as well as community houses run by the MEC. Other slides show African Americans engaged in job training, such as sewing and dressmaking, and in worship and recreational activities. More information from the Newberry catalog

Congregants at morning service, East Calgary Methodist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1922?

In “The Great Migration, Reconsidered,” scholars Dr. Lionel Kimble, Dr. Courtney Pierre Joseph, and Dr. Matthew Cressler examine the complex legacy of this period.

Dr. Joseph notes that many Black families did not stay in the original city they arrived in, but continued to move around the country. “Black people are migratory and they move a lot to where best suits their needs and desires… Voting with your feet, being able to go where your voice can be heard.” These lantern slides show us an early snapshot of the Great Migration across the nation, some people on their first stop of many, with images of labor, family, and hope.

Every year the Domestic Bursar at Jordan would send for Lyra—or have her tracked down and caught—and have a photogram taken. Lyra submitted indifferently, and scowled at the camera; it was just one of the things that happened. It didn’t occur to her to ask where the pictures went. As a matter of fact, they all went to Lord Asriel, but he would never have let her know.

Lantern Slide From 'The Spectre Pig'

A. D. Handy Stereopticons and Supplies produced a set of slides based on the 1830 ballad The Spectre Pig by author and poet Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894). The popular ballad described the butchering of a pig, who then comes back from the dead to exact revenge on the butcher who killed him. This set was one of hundreds of lantern story sets produced by lantern manufacturers.

Every week for the past few years, I visit the Central Library to see the new arrangement of flowers on the staircase. While the library was closed for these past four months, I've felt the absence of this ritual. When the Oregon Historical Society shared that they digitized hand-colored lantern slides from the Portland Garden Club in the 1930s, I found some flower solace in the colors and compositions. The library reopens tomorrow!

It’s been a bit, but here is the next installment of the Gundam Witch from Mercury model kits. The HG CFP-010 Heindree, a grunt Mobile Suit Developed by Grasslyey Defense. An uniqueMS with a big round shield on a pivoting arm mounted on the left arm. On the right arm the is a smaller shield weapon called the ‘lantern Shield’ which has electromagnetic lance, a beam pistol and shield all in one.

As for the kit itself it was a fairly simple build over all, and came together nicely. I decided to go the extra mile and paint everything instead of using the provided stickers seeing as I also had decals for it. Which I think really make this kit look superior good. The build over all while quite solid and has some decent mobility. It does have some glaring issues in the hips the upper most part of the thigh is a two part socket with pegs that go into the waist and another that goes into the upper part of the leg where both parts can rotate around but the only bend is at the hip. And with the way that is situated you have to do some really awkward twisting to get any kind of wide stance. That coupled with he feet also having a poor range of motion it takes a lot of fiddling to get any dynamic positions.
