This is a magic lantern slide that is 3¼ x 3¼ inches (83x83mm).

It shows a hand tinted genre slide depicting a scene in a rustic attic room with exposed wooden roof beams. A young man in a striped shirt is kneeling on the wooden floor beside a small, decorative organ with a pink centre panel. He is looking towards an older man who is lying in a wooden bed covered with a colourful patchwork quilt. To the left, a small wooden table holds a jug, cups, and saucers, with a wooden chair positioned behind it. A dark garment hangs on the wall in the background near a fireplace. The top edge of the slide has a printed label reading 'Christie's Old Organ' and a circular sticker with the number '40'. The bottom edge has a label reading 'From Life Models. Copyright.'
