The image depicts an old black-and-white print or drawing of a city street scene. It is labeled "WILLIAM STREET AT EXCHANGE PLACE ABOUT 1831". The scene shows a variety of buildings, indicative of early 19th-century architecture, with a prominent structure on the left that has a domed tower and a weathervane. To the right is a larger, multi-storied building with many windows and what appears to be a series of shops or offices at street level.

Several figures can be seen on the street: individuals walking on the sidewalk and a horse-drawn carriage in the center of the street, which gives a sense of the transportation of the era. There are no trees or much other ornamentation; the focus is on the architecture and urban environment of the time. The sky above is lightly clouded, and the perspective of the street leads the viewer's eye towards the center of the print, where the buildings recede into the distance.

At the bottom of the image is additional text "SOCIETY OF ICONOPHILES 1914," which indicates that the print might be part of a collection or publication by an organization focused on preserving or celebrating images, possibly those related to New York City history, given the street names referenced.
