The image depicts an old postcard featuring a drawing of the New Court House located at 25th Street and Madison Avenue in New York City. The building is illustrated with neoclassical architecture, characterized by its grand façade adorned with large columns supporting a pediment decorated with statues or sculptures that resemble figures such as lions or mythical beings. Above this illustration, there are ornamental streetlights on either side of the drawing, which adds to the vintage aesthetic typical for postcards from earlier times.

The coloration is muted and appears aged, suggesting it's an antique piece likely dating back several decades. The text "NEW COURT HOUSE." in bold letters is prominently displayed at the bottom center of the card with additional information such as its number (NO. 301) and a note attributing Arthur Stahlecker Inc., New York, indicating possibly where or whom it was created for.

The overall condition appears to be well-preserved despite being an aged item, which is typical given that postcards were often collected as souvenirs by travelers during the time of their popularity.
