This is a drawing of a person pasting a large poster on a wall. The figure on a ladder is applying the poster while others watch. The poster has text including "LA PRESSE" and "D’OUTRE-TOMBE." The image is in a monochrome palette with detailed line work and shading. In the background, there is additional faint text suggesting a city setting with references to a 'restaurant.' The scene captures a moment of street advertising in the past with fine detail and dense hatching and cross-hatching techniques for depth and texture.
