Young boys standing in Featherston Street with a horse and cart approaching. Other pedestrians use the footpaths or ride horse-drawn tramcars.
The view faces towards Lambton Quay with Barrett's Hotel and the Athenaeum visible. A hotel sits to the right with "J. Cattell" painted above the side entrance.
This copy is a water-damaged print. The original photographer has signed his name as "Morris", which may indicate John R. Morris or his brothers Hugh and Guy (all photographers in the 19th Century).
