A large crowd of men—almost all of whom wear top hats—women, and children congregate in an urban setting. In the left foreground a woman in a blue dress and an ornate hat passes the viewer. To her left a hobbled man holds a sign with a few legible words amongst squiggles; they read, "General / BOOTH / City Hall". Part of a bridled horse is seen at the extreme right side of the composition. Behind the crowd, whose clothing is heightened with an array of pastel watercolors, a colonnade is visible; at the left corner of the building the colonnade recedes backwards, and is mirrored by a row of receding street lamps. <br />

This etching shows a view of the interior court of Kronborg Castle, in the town of Helsingor, Denmark. The viewer looks out from an upper level viewpoint at the roofs and upper stories. The building is drawn with great detail, all the carvings in the stone are pronounced. In the small area of the street seen below is a group of figures. The sky above the buildings and sea is dark grey and cloudy, as is the water. In the far distance another hilly shoreline is visible.
