Black and white photo on one side with advertising copy on the reverse along with a small illustration of the printing press.

The reverse touts their typesetting machinery and maps that come with subscriptions. Of note is the front side photo depicting three African-American boys sitting on a wall giggling and laughing rendering this somewhat of an anomaly unfortunately of a 19th century trade card where racist stereotypes were more often than not the norm.
