Seen in a larger format Waterlow & Sons design with ornate deep red inks making up the bordering design and yellow-orange rayed under-prints.
Hand accomplished signature at the accountant title. Facing dragon vignette at upper center and seen with the back design showing a vignette of junks at top center and harbor view below. Vertical rectangular overprint at lower right of back with black annotation at left. The note is seen in an original state and is free from any repairs or restoration.
