Engraved plates like this one, numbered down the page, were a staple of nineteenth-century agricultural manuals and seed catalogs, where each illustration showed a machine in enough detail for a farmer to recognize and compare it. This page is devoted to seeders, the implements that dropped seed into furrows at a measured rate, a task that had been done by hand, broadcast from a sack, for centuries. Seed drills like these changed planting by placing grain at even depths and spacing, which improved germination and cut the waste of scattered seed. Look closely at the numbering and the small labeled parts, which show how manufacturers used these plates to sell and explain their equipment.
