The background of the card reveals a quintessential 18th century London street scene. A tall, red-brick building with intricate railings and a ladder leaning against its side, hints at the construction work that was common during this era. The Bull Head pub, a popular watering hole, can be seen in the distance, adding to the lively atmosphere.
