The image depicts a large, open square or courtyard with several buildings and a variety of objects. The building on the right is large and tan with columns on the front and many windows along its sides. A red carriage with black top is parked on the right. People in old-fashioned clothing are standing on the sidewalk and in the square. There are several large crates and baskets in the foreground. On the left is a large piece of machinery with a wheel and a tall metal structure. In the background, there are more buildings, including one with a tall tower. The sky is cloudy and gray. The scene appears to be a depiction of a city street or harbor area, possibly from the 19th century. The title of the image is "London As It Is: Doorway, The Custom House" by Thomas Shotter Boys.
