This is a sheet music advertising glass magic lantern slide, beautifully colored, labeled, "For You Are My Love in Zululand." This slide is from a set produced by Chicago Transparency Company." Words and music were written by Spencer Williams and it was published in Chicago close to the turn of the last century. Slide was meant to be projected on the screen of a theater, vaudeville house, or other auditorium to advertise the latest song hit. Usually it was the sheet music company who would hire someone to sing the song while the projectionist showed slides on the screen to illustrate the song. Often the last slide was the words to the chorus (as is this one), and the audience was invited to sing along--the idea being that they would like the song well enough to go out and buy the music. Slides were usually discarded after a relatively short period of use so are difficult to find. Slide is 3 1/4" x 4", is in very good condition, and can be viewed by projecting, holding it to the light, or placing it on a light box. This slide can be made into a photograph or poster.
