A magic lantern slipping slide showing two boys and a cracker, made by an unknown artist in 1870.

The slide shows two boys, each holding the end of a huge cracker. A slipping slide consists of two pieces of glass - both painted with different stages of a movement. Black patches painted on the movable, or 'slipping', slide alternately cover and uncover the stages of movement.

The second part of this slide shows the cracker exploding leaving one boy on his back and the other nowhere to be seen.
