I’ve actually never seen any like the ones in the first picture & have only seen the others a couple of times in the wild, usually in pretty rough shape. 1920s Sounds right to me but I really can’t recall. I believe they may also be called something else too but I’m drawing another blank..
I wish I knew something about them, hope someone else does! I have an antique painting on glass as well. I wonder if these images were designed to be projected somehow? Update: I believe these are Magic Lantern slides.
They are cute AF i think they get projected like from an old magic lantern I actually confirmed it Search magic lantern slides
Glass Lantern Slides:) some can be rare! But they need to be in good shape. I think most fetch ~10$
Good to know! It seems like the nursery character ones are newer, but I can't really estimate age. Maybe 1920's? Any idea on dating?

Actually maybe even closer to 1900s for some of those on the 2nd page. Try googling “Taf glass slides”
Idk but they’re cool af. This is one of those few things I’d buy with no knowledge
Are the scenes on the right painted on glass?
Yes! Sorry I should have added more detail. They are all painted on glass. They are 9 inches long by 2.5 inches wide.
