The title, "Oh Boy That's the Girl T," reads like a line of slang or a song refrain, and the record does not say who made the picture or what it shows beyond that phrase. Its 1918 date places it in the last year of the war, when newspapers, sheet music, and postcards often used cheerful slogans and sweetheart imagery to lift spirits on the home front and among soldiers. The wording may be the best clue to its purpose. Close attention to the figures, clothing, and any lettering should help place it among the many commercial and personal pictures of the war years.
