The image is of a brick building with a sign that reads "PRICE, BIRCH & CO. DEALERS IN SLAVES." A tree and horse-drawn carriage are in front of the building. The scene shows a winter setting with sparse surroundings. The photograph is presented in a 19th-century stereographic format with an orange border.
