Summary
Lantern slide of incomplete sketches of three faces and one figure. Made by T.W. Cameron, Melbourne, Victoria, circa 1930s-1940s.
One of a set of over 420 lantern slides, used by lecturer Walter S. Binks, a popular psychology and vocational guidance lecturer based in Melbourne, Victoria. Binks gave lectures throughout Australia in the 1930s and 1940s. Binks advertised his lectures as associated with the Australasian Opportunity League or Universal Opportunity League.
