The image depicts a room filled with armor on display. In the left wall, several coats of arms and weapons are mounted. A platform against the left wall features suits of armor on display with a railing in front, including one on a horse. Multiple people dressed in period clothing are dispersed throughout the room. The floor contains several benches and chairs. The right wall features a glass cabinet. The background shows a curtained alcove and more armor on display. The image is in black and white. The text at the bottom describes it as the interior of the Oplotheca in Brook St. Bond St. The image appears to be an old illustration.
