Lantern slide in color showing "How Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke Celebrated the Day at Home." Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke cower on the floor as three lit fireworks begin sparking in the candelabrum on their table. Mrs. O'Rourke holds a chair over her head as a black cat hides behind her. A red and white label with the words "A.D. Handy, Stereopticons and Supplies, Boston" is applied to one end of the slide and written in black ink in cursive is "Mr & Mrs. O'Rourke (1)." "Albert D. Handy / 21 Broomfield St., Boston" is printed in gold lettering on black frame on other side of slide.
