Magic Lantern Slide: Flower Studies - Crysanthemums
This photographic slide by William Weaver Baker shows a vase of chrysanthemums. The placement of the flowers, with some of the stems drooping downwards, shows Weaver Baker was interested in recording the form of the specimen from different perspectives. 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.
