This is an old black and white print depicting a historical scene outside a building. The scene appears to be from the 17th or 18th century, given the fashion of the clothing and the architectural style. A person in period attire, including breeches, stockings, and a coat with embellishments stands outside, oriented in profile view facing the right of the image. The individual is gesturing with one hand raised, wearing a tricorne hat and adorned with a sword at the hip.
Near the bottom left corner of the image, a small dog with long fur and a curled tail can be seen. The dog is standing on a paved, stone surface, which appears to be the ground outside the entrance to the building.
The background depicts brickwork suggesting an urban environment, and the building has a classic wooden door partially open.
The print includes a caption at the bottom: "The APPOINTMENT OVERHEARD and PREVENTED." Below this caption, there are additional details, which seem to include a publisher's mark and possibly some information about where and when the print was produced. It reads, "Printed for Carrington Bowles... at No. 69 in St. Paul's Church Yard, London. Published as the Act directs." This suggests the image is intended to convey a narrative, possibly related to an eavesdropped appointment that was subsequently thwarted. The style and caption suggest it is a satirical or narrative-driven piece, common in certain periods of British printmaking history.

The image depicts two individuals in historical dress engaged in an interaction. One person, wearing an ornate, feathered headpiece, appears to be speaking or addressing the other, who is dressed in an elaborate costume with embroidered details. The figures are set against a dark, shadowy background, creating a dramatic, moody atmosphere. The title of the image, "The Appointment Overheard and Prevented," suggests a narrative or scene being depicted, though without further context it is difficult to discern the specific details. The image has a rich, textured quality characteristic of an engraved or etched print from a historic period.
