This is a drawing of a decorative inscription. The drawing shows flowing, ornamental lines framing the name "JOHN HAVINS" in capital letters, along with the date "1775 July 18" and "N. York." The design includes symmetrical decorative flourishes of curving leaves and stylized floral elements above and below the text. The overall effect resembles scrolled or engraved text, possibly from the 18th century.
