Lantern slide in color showing "How Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke Celebrated the Day at Home." Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke stand at their table soaked with water. The house is in disrepair. Outside the window of their home are speech bubbles belonging to the firemen who just put out the fireworks in their house. The speech bubbles read "fire out." 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.
