A charming lever slide of a goat and his girl. Origin unknown, perhaps it's from a fairy tale set.

Pancks the cat investigating what is probably the most famous Victorian #magiclantern slide. 'Man Eating Rat' (aka Ratcatcher) is usually (but not always) a mechanical slide where a sleeping man (sometimes a chef) swallows rats. Thank you to @badvictorianist.bsky.social for the movie...
