The Nutting Studio ilustrated this photograph on page 36 of the 1912 Picture Sales catalog and on page 479 of the 1915 Expansible catalog.

One source of information I have from the Nutting Studio indicates that this picture was made in California. The exact town or house is not recorded.

This photograph is one of several in a series made on this stairway with this child and woman model, at times replacing the child with an infant or posing the woman model alone.

Other photographs in this series that I have been able to confirm are:
"A Colonial Stair" studio #2290
"Toward Slumberland" studio #2292
"To Slumberland" studio #2292 (Same picture as "Toward Slumberland").
"After The Party" studio #2295
"The Charm Of Other Years" studio #2295 (Same picture as "After The Party").
"To Meet Papa" studio #2296
"What Shall I Answer" studio #2472
"To Meet The Rector" studio #2499
"Mother" studio #2513

Wallace Nutting also made two photographs in one of the bed chambers of this house. They are:
"Nap Time Stories" studio #2511
"A Patchwork Siesta" studio #2293
