Several of the buildings contain smokestacks, and most are absent or only contain a few windows. In the foreground, a man leans on a fence lining the road, while behind him, a horse-drawn carriage and man on horseback travel in front of the complex. Also contains a list of 20 chemicals produced by the factory, including Chloride of lime, Aqua fortis, and Muriate of tin, printed below the image.
