Lantern slide proof No. 14 was made to accompany the popular song "Just a Girl like Mother Was," and it carries a copyright notice in the name of J.D. Cress. Around 1900, illustrated song performances projected a sequence of such slides onto a screen while a singer performed, letting audiences follow the lyrics in pictures. The sentimental story behind the song reflects the taste for domestic themes that ran through the period's stage and parlor ballads. The caption card's details are old and unverified, so the exact scene and maker should be read with some caution.
