That method gave the studio's animals lifelike, individual character, visible here in the Springer Spaniel's engaging expression and confident standing pose. Retaining an underside mark plus two separate original labels gives this example unusually strong documentation compared to many surviving Mortens pieces, which often lost their paper labels over the decades.
