Preparation of cellulose paper

This is the 9th lantern slide from a series of 15 glass slides (8.5 x 10 cm) featuring black-and-white photographs that illustrate the manufacturing of cellulose paper at the beginning of the 20th century in Germany. On the front side, there is a round, serrated label with the handwritten number '9.' and two oblong labels with 'SEESTERN-LICHTBILDER / E. A. SEEMANN LEIPZIG / Serie 8 / N° 9' and 'Zellulose-Papierfabrikation. / Das Sortiren der Holzstücke.' (Cellulose Paper Manufacturing. / Sorting the Wood Pieces.) The lantern slide consists of a double glass plate held together by black paper adhesive tape. Around 1929, it was part of the lending collection of the Stedelijk Schoolmuseum in Antwerp.
