Knights of Pythias magic lantern slide in color mounted in a rectangular wooden frame. The slide depicts a scene from the story of Pythias. The image shows a man chained to a column with a woman by his side. On the bottom of the wooden frame is a white label with black type that reads "No. 7 14796 Knights of Pythias / Damon's Farewell--." In bold black type to right of label it reads "Selected Subjects." The white label is yellowed, and cracking with missing parts. There is a maker's mark etched onto wood on proper right side of slide that reads "Copyrighted 1884 by / William H. Rau."
