This print shows an old street surface visible through a hole on the modern one which has been laid over the top of it. Through this hole, you can see the small, rectangular granite setts which once covered most roads in Glasgow. Between these is a long granite slab, which was part of a stone tramways. These tramways provided a smooth surface over which cartwheels could easily move over, and allowed one horse to pull a load which would otherwise require two horses. While only one is visible here, stone tramways usually came in pairs of parallel lines of such slabs a carts-width apart.

The print itself is 7.25 inches by 9 inches (18.5 cm by 23cm), and it comes mounted in a white 1.5 inch (3.5 cm) mount with a total size of 10 inches by 12 inches (25.5 cm by 30.5cm).
