Businesses include Maddock Raymond & Co., watches & jewelry, Spring Oaks & Co., dry goods (145); M. L. Hallowell & Co., importers & jobbers in silk goods, Guillou Walton & Co., hosiery & linen goods (147, later 333); and De Courcey Lafourcade & Co., importers of mens wear and cloth warehouse. Also shows street and pedestrian traffic. An older gentleman walks near two women peering into the windows of Lafourcade as a man stands at the entrance of Hallowell. In the street, a horse-drawn dray races past two laborers loading crates onto three drays parked in front of Hallowell & Co. Nearby, a man carrying a wood pole over his shoulder rushes behind two dogs chasing one another past a man carrying a satchel on his back. Also contains two female allegorical figures bordering the image in the upper corners. One figure holds the coat of arms of Pennsylvania and the other holds a horn of plenty.
