Newton's lantern slide catalogue: section 9 -- art, literature, and miscellaneous (circa 1920)

964 NEWTON & CO., Ltd., Lantern Slide Publishers. QP MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT The success which has attended the publication of our Beta of SlideB on Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” and “Tale of Two Cities” has induced us to attempt a still larger series of Slides on one of hiB greatest novels, “ Martin Chuzzlewit.” This story illustrates very fully the great versatility of Dickens’ work; there are many characters in it which have attained world-wide celebrity, such as Pecksniff, Sairey Gamp and Mark Tapley, and the transitions from social life to tragedy, with a continuous stream of comedy and comic relief running through all, form a most interesting story and give a very good idea of the universality of the Author’* genius. Ab in the case of the other two sets, a condensed version'of the story has been published retaining, as far as possible, the actual dialogue and descriptions of Dickens, but shortened so as to take about 1J hours to read. A plentiful supply of very beautiful Slides based on the best of the designs of Phiz, Fred Barnard, and other artists has been produced (by kind permission of Messrs. Chapman & Hall) and, in order to keep the interest unflagging, as many as 58 illustrations have been provided. Strictly Copyright.

IN PREPARATION— Incidents and Character Studies from “ David Copperfleld.” The success which has attended the publication of our sets of Slides on some of the works of Charles Dickens has induced us to attempt to secure a further series of pictures illustrating what is perhaps the Author’s most famous work— "DAVID COPPERFIELD.” As in the case of the other sets, it is hoped to publish a condensed version of the story suitable for reading with the Slides. We are assured that this new set will be eagerly welcomed. See also Dickens’ story—The Magic Fishbone, page 996.
