Antique Victorian Microscope Slides

In the Victorian era, even something as simple as a slide for a microscope is beautifully illustrated with colored delicate floral designs and detailed patterns. The latter generations seem to have lost certain elements of style, design and attention to detail, whether industrial or personal, that were commonplace in the 19th century and prior. These are incredible.

So, so beautiful

Lovely.
