A notice from 1858 published in Antwerp by J.B. van Mol-van Loy, written by F. H. Mertens to describe the murals painted by Godfried Guffens and Jean Swerts for the Antwerp Chamber of Commerce. Its pictures are monochrome wood-engraved views: a heraldic shield with a crown and castle towers, a street scene with a clock tower, and an exterior of the building's arcaded hall, offering a designer reference for civic heraldry, Flemish townscape and period architectural line work.
