Mounted in places on backing paper and beneath a passe-partout with a gold border, and framed in a gold-coloured moulding (unframed). Printed by the Lithographic Institute of Arnz & Co., Düsseldorf. – This lithograph shows a panoramic view of the town of Elberfeld (now a district of Wuppertal) from the north-western outskirts.
