Woodburytype lantern slides
Walter Woodbury (1834 – 1885) was a British photographer and inventor. In June
1857, he set up a photographic studio in Batavia with fellow British photographer,
James Page (1833 – 1865). In early 1863, Woodbury returned to England, where he
worked on various inventions and technical innovations. One of these inventions was
the Woodburytype slide, a form of photographic glass slide. The 47 Woodburytype
slides shown in this section were made using photographic negatives produced by
Woodbury and Page during their stay in Java. The slides come from different
manufacturers and use different numbering systems. However, the numbering of
most of the slides is consistent with the Woodbury catalogue (Java & the Javanese
series) or the Liesegang catalogue (Series 714, Java and Sumatra). For more details,
see the book “Stereoviews of the Moluccas, Java and Sumatra” by R. Nootenboom.
