Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this English movie. This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: good. There is a diagonal crack in the bottom right corner of the top pane of glass and a smaller crack in the top left corner. The slide is still solid, and the cracks don't interfere very much with viewing the slide. Learn More about condition grades
