Magic Lantern Slide: Flower Studies - Columbine
This photographic slide by William Weaver Baker shows several stems of columbine flowers. The positioning of the stems captures different perspectives, which allows the unique shape of the flowers to be appreciated, as each flower is bell-shaped and the inside divided into five sections. Weaver Baker was a keen amateur photographer and produced sets of slides on different themes, this slide being part of a set of 52 flower images.
