Magic Lantern Slide: Arthur climbing tree
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. He was especially interested in birds and photographed local specimens and their nests, and this shows one of his friends climbing a tree to photograph an in-situ nest.
