The Hands on History Museum’s collection contains a large number of old lantern slides which show pictures of trees, birds, eggs, animals, insects, fossils and much more. In the past, natural historians took these photographs to document the natural world around them. Have a look at some of these old photographs for inspiration before drawing your own favourite animal or nature scene and creating a decorated frame to display your image.
