Lantern slide in color. Image shows a scene from the story of the Pied Piper. The slide depicts a royal chamber. There is a table with an ornate chair at the head and several chairs along the sides. A man in a red ermine-trimmed robe is at the head; men in similar robes sit at the table. A crowd of women and men stand at the end of the table. A label printed in black at one end of the slide reads, "2. Rouse up, sirs! Give your brains a racking, To find the remedy we're lacking." A label printed in red is pasted to the other end and reads, "A.D. Handy, Stereopticons and Supplies, Boston."
