The image showcases a bustling scene by the river, where a ship is being unloaded with barrels of spirits. Standing proudly in the foreground is an imposing tax office gate, symbolizing the strict regulations imposed on alcohol transportation. The engraving captures not only the physicality of this historical moment but also highlights its economic significance.
