Summary

King William Street, Adelaide. The street is busy with horse drawn traffic. In the foreground a man is talking to the driver of a hire cart, and in the centre of the road is the taxi rank of the time - a line of horse cabs. Two horse trams are passing each other. On the extreme right is the Imperial Fire Assurance building, designed by Wright and Woods. In the centre distance the guardhouse for Government House can be seen. A sign on the lower left corner reminds horse drivers and riders to 'walk around corners and over crossings'.
