A vertically oriented etching in black ink on cream paper depicts a central shield containing three pig heads with rings in their snouts. Flanking the shield, two slender dogs stand on their hind legs facing inward. Above, a deer's head with antlers sits atop a helmet surrounded by elaborate scrolling foliage. Below, a banner reads "GRACE ME GUIDE" over the cursive inscription "The Rt. Hon.ble James Lord Forbes." This print is mounted on aged paper.
