Magic lantern slide depicting Earth from space, with pink clouds surrounding it, and above, the sun to the left and the moon and stars to the right. The image references the Bible's Creation Story, specifically the Book of Genesis (chapter 1, verse 16) when God creates "two great lights"--the sun/stars and the moon.
The image is likely a copy of an engraving, printed in black and white on glass and hand-tinted. The slide consists of a rectangular wooden frame with a circular cutout for the image/glass. Title printed on the side of the frame: "CLASS XXXI. SACRED [HISTORY--OLD TESTAMENT]/ 4. [______]CES TWO GREAT LIGHTS"Acquisition
