A view of Quality Court, Holborn, with The Great Seal Patent Office (early Victorian building at number 3 Quality Court) at the end of the court. The building contains double panelled doors set into a frame flanked by columns and surmounted by a triangular pediment. Rising behind the pediment can be seen a sky light. The building as well as the neighbouring houses contain sash windows. The eighteenth-century Georgian houses on the right (numbered 5-9) contain small-paned sash windows, tall first-floor windows, iron juliet balconies on the first floor of number 7, flat pediments on the front doors, steps rising to some of the doors, and dormer windows. Other features include a triangular pediment above the entrance to the building on the left, chimney stacks, drain pipes, iron railings, paving stones and central gas street lamp. A board on chains hangs from one of the windows, possibly to block the light. A 'To Let' sign hangs from the railings on the left including the name of the agent Staples, Aldridge & Co. of 9 Sackville Street and telephone number. Telephone wires hang across the court. The image is seen through an arch above which hangs a lantern. Some of the buildings in the court remain while others have been replaced.
