The Nutting Studio illustrated this picture on page 38 of the 1912 Picture Sales catalog with the title "Toward Slumberland". In the 1915 Expansible catalog the title was changed to "To Slumberland", (page 479).

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 woman and infant, at times replacing the infant with a child or posing the woman alone.

Other photographs in this series that I have been able to confirm are:
"A Colonial Stair" studio #2290
"Shy Before Guest" studio #2291
"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
