The Who sang the song... Listen to the album "Meatty, Beatty, Big and Bouncy"... There has been another answer that mentioned Lilly Langtree, and the author seems to know rock trivia very well. However, I had always been lead to believe that the picture his father gave him was a bit more risque', and have been told that the term "lily" is a vintage British term for vagina... I have always thought his picture was just this, a picture of a woman in the buff... for which he was very grateful, and a thoughtful gift from an understanding father, presented to him in his time of "need", so to speak........

"Pictures of Lily" is a single by the British rock band The Who. It was released in 1967, and reached the top five in the United Kingdom.
The song is primarily about masturbation, though mostly through double entendres rather than explicit lyrics.
In the beginning of the song, the singer laments his insomnia. When his father gives him the pictures of the song's title, his problems are solved.
Soon, he becomes obsessed with "Lily", seeking to meet her in real life. His father informs him that "Lily" has, in fact, been dead since 1929. Initially, the singer laments, but before long turns back to his fantasy.
The "Lily" of the song is usually assumed to be Lillie Langtry.
Lillie Langtry (n̩e Emilie Charlotte Le Breton, nicknamed the Jersey Lily) (13 October 1853 Р12 February 1929) was a British actress and courtesan born on the island of Jersey in 1853.

It was about one of the bank members mothers - she was apparently quite a domineering woman
