The print's distinguishing feature is its trade name, "Ox Brand," under which J.H. Perry advertised patent and enamelled leather. Glossy patent leather and enamelled leather with a similar finish were popular in the 19th century for boots, shoes, and carriage trim, and makers often used illustrated prints like this to promote their goods to dealers and buyers. The record has no date, and the shelflist card links the item to a name, Bonar, that has not been verified, so its exact origin remains uncertain.
