Magic Lantern Slide: Capercailzie, Austria
Alfred Rowden was a keen amateur photographer and natural historian in Exeter. He often gave talks at local field clubs, illustrated with magic lantern slides that he created or purchased from commercial manufacturers. The title on this slide uses the Scottish spelling for the Capercaillie bird, and the slide is associated with the hand-written description about the bird in the Scottish landscape.
