The trade card is illustrated with an interior view of the premises of Dorothy Mercer. A young couple on the right examine a print; to the left a man seated in a chair examines a print with an eye glass, and behind him stands another man. On the right a young boy enters the scene holding a portfolio and roll of paper. At the centre of the scene is a woman, presumably Dorothy Mercier, pointing to a wall on which pictures are displayed. The illustration is framed by an ornamental Rococo border.
