DescriptionSheet music for piano and voice, titled “Our Happy Little Home”, appearing as two bifold folio sheets (8 pages total). The third page attributes the arrangement to Henry E. Pether.

The cover features a lithograph of Harry Randall in drag, wearing a worn dress, standing in a shabby room with broken cupboards and a crate for a chair. A signature reading “J[ay] E. Gomersall” appears twice in the top right corner. A stamp reading “W. Brandon, Music Dealer, Leeds, Covered Market” appears in the bottom left corner. The melody and four stanzas are listed on the inside back cover.
NotesAlso includes a list of Francis, Day, & Hunter’s Newest Comic Songs on the back page.
