DescriptionFive men stand in front of a dilapidated wooden building. One man wears a top hat. Some men have beards or mustaches. An open carriage is at the right. Broadsides are posted on the open barn doors and on the side of the building. These read, in part: "Baldwin & Webb / Men's & Boys' / Cloth[ing]" "Save Two Profits / by buying your / Clothing / from the Manufacturer…" The trees on the hill at the right appear to be pines.
