A hand-coloured lithographed border of stylised leaves, vines, flowers and lighthouse motif surrounds a central hand-coloured vignette of a sailor leaning against a stone plinth, wearing a top hat, white trousers and navy blue jacket and carrying a sword against his left leg. A ship at sea is seen in the background on the right. 'No 6' is lithographed at the lower right of the image, indicating that this design is one of a series. A verse is printed above and below in sloping script: 'Son of the Ocean, fierce and wild, / List to the voice of Love's own child, / Reefer of many a maidens heart / Behold how true a Counterpart / ... Oh, may no breakers intervene / To mar the light of the sunny scene, / My heart speaks more than my tongue may tell / As Hymen the Pilot singsforth [sic] 'All's well.'. The interior is blank. The same lighthouse motif is seen in another naval-themed design from the same series, P.14416-R-55.
