Wilhelm Busch - The Skillfull Barber
These three slippers are clearly aimed at The Skilful Barber and the Clever Dog story. So far no connection with the story slides at the point of sale has been found. This suggests that the Slip slide was never really intended to be used with the 83mm set particularly as it repeats the last slide. Presumably, makers of Slip slides would have been searching for inspiration and Busch provided it on this occasion. We have no knowledge concerning, either the artists or the manufacturer; none of the slides carry any markings at all.
