This is a black and white drawing of a street scene. A horse-drawn carriage is on the street, driven by a man with two horses harnessed to it. In the background, a building with the words "PRESSE" and "LETTRES D'UN MORT" and a skull and crossbones illustration can be seen. Two men in top hats and long coats are facing the building. The illustration is detailed with fine lines and shading.
