A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a 19th-century Piccadilly streetscape in London. On the left, a building labeled "OLD BOND STREET" rises beside people with light skin tones wearing dark cloaks and a red-coated soldier. A tall streetlamp stands center, splitting the receding road. To the right, laborers work near barrels and excavated earth. In the pale, vast sky, two hot air balloons drift. Muted yellow, brown, and gray tones define the scene.
