Description Advertisement containing a view of the busy foundry in a trompe l'oeil frame. Shows a gentleman, possibly the proprietor, leaving the door of the office connected to the large workshop in which laborers toil on machine parts. A boy carrying a small part walks toward the gentleman. He passes two men talking at the corner of the small office building near the side of the workshop lined by factory debris. On the sidewalk, laborers finish a large gear propped up on a platform. The men are surrounded by machine parts that lie on the ground and line the outside of another factory building. Nearby, two workers with crowbars and a piece of cylinder await a horse-drawn cart being backed up to the curb by a driver. Also shows a driver leading a horse and ox-drawn wagon hauling a large steam pipe in the street, a locomotive passing between the rear of the factory and fenced pastureland, and a steamboat docked near a hoist on the riverbank in the background. Stotsenburg established his own foundry in 1849 after leaving the partnerhip of Betts & Stotsenburg that began in 1837.
