Slides of Nansen’s Polar Expedition.—
: The public have been anxiously waiting to hear
when Dr. Nansen’s set of slides was to be published. We have pleasure in stating that Messrs. Newton & Co., of 3, Fleet Street, E.C.,
have obtained the sole right to reproduce as lantern slides the pictures in ‘‘ Farthest North.” The slides used by Dr. Nansen at his own lectures were made for him by Messrs. Newton, and those now published are taken from the same negatives. A selection of 50 slides has been made, forming a fairly representative set, although 80 altogether are obtainable. Besides these, any other pictures in ‘“ Farthest North” can be supplied to order by Messrs. Newton & Co. The plain photographic slides are Qs. each, and the hand-painted slides from the coloured illustrations in the book are 8s. 6d. each.
