The slides have been in the family of the donor, Magdalene Wellner, for at least 70 years. Mrs. Wellner grew up in Belgium and remembers the slides from her early childhood, but does not know when or how they were acquired. She stated her husband used to project them in the home by shining a light behind them. The notecard accompanying the donation stated that they were “inherited around 1900 or 1800 from Belgium.”
