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 on his knees before an executioner; a man runs toward them. In the background stands a man at a throne with two guards. On the bottom of the wooden frame is a white label with black type that reads "K. of P. 8===Damon Arrives and Pythias is saved. / Copyrighted 1892 by the M.C. LIlley & Co. Columbus. O."
