    The box may have been intended to hold each batch of

                                  six  negatives  currently  awaiting  conversion  to  micro-
                                  photograph  slides.    Micro-photograph  slides  with
                                  Suter’s  handwritten  labels,  if  they  exist,  have  not
                                  emerged at auction sales or internet sites like eBay, and
                                  the example shown already seems unique, intended for
                                  personal  and  family  entertainment.    In  1900  Suter
                                  issued a Revised Catalogue of Microscopical Slides etc.,

                                  made  by  Suter  from  Dancer  negatives,  and  sold  with
                                  original  Dancer  labels.  Many  labels  survive  among
                                  Richard’s effects owned by a family descendant, Helen
                                  Reed.  Other family descendants may have more, or a
                                  lot may have been thrown out down the years.  What is
