The pen-and-ink illustrated advertisement is outlined with a thick black rectangular border, to the left of the text advertisements In it, a young couple with arms linked stops along a street at a shop, facing left in three-quarter profile. The woman, wearing a ribboned bonnet and dress, is touching a bolt of cloth outside a shop. The man, wearing a long tunic atop breeches and high socks, reaches his hand into pocket. Behind them, a stone wall separates the figures from a field dotted with trees and a small house. In the background, the sea recedes into the horizon. The artist’s monogram is in the bottom left corner of the frame.
