This image features an illustration of a goose dressed in human-style attire. The goose is standing upright like a human and is wearing a suit with a waistcoat, a bow tie, and trousers. The creature has its wings partially draped by its sides in a manner reminiscent of human arms. To the right of the goose, there is an ornately designed chair suggesting an interior setting. In the background, there is a draped curtain revealing a large paneled window or possibly a door, contributing to the impression of a formal, well-appointed room. Below the illustration, text reads "SUCH A GOOSE AS YOU TO HAVE A CARTE DE VISITE..," which is a play on words and may be referencing the common practice during the 19th century of exchanging small photographs called cartes de visite. There is a signature on the bottom left corner that appears to read "Rock & Co. LONDON," which might indicate the maker or publisher of the illustration. The artwork is numbered "No. 3," suggesting it may be part of a series. The composition of the image and the dress of the goose give it a satirical or whimsical tone, commonly found in Victorian-era illustrations of anthropomorphic animals.
