ORR CO."; after the nest, the branches turn at a right angle and run vertically down the page; in the center of the page in rustic, tree-branch letters are the words, "COTTAGE MUSIC"; there is an image of Sunnyside below this with two women in front of the house; there are three tiny figures standing on the bank of the river to the viewer's left of a passing sailboat; the caption reads "Sunnyside. The Home of Irving"; toward the bottom of the page is "41." and, in capital letters, the title, "ERIN, HOME OF MY CHILDHOOD."
