A color lithographed trade card promoting Hunckel & Son's services within the printing industry through text and illustrated vignettes. Text on top of the image reads "Printing and Lithographic Establishment," and the central image includes two allegorical figures shaking hands above a banner that reads "Hunckel & Son" in gold, with George and Otto Hunckel's signatures below. The center of the card is embossed with the United States seal, and the card is bordered with putti representing the branches of art and science such as lithography, engraving, typography, and photography. The bottom of the card reads "The blessings of the graphic sciences over all the nations of the world," and includes stylistic representations of men in different cultural attire. The border edges of the card are printed in gold.
