Plate 39 gathers twelve numbered pruning tools on a single sheet, each drawn separately so its blade, hinge, and handle can be compared at a glance. Tools like these were standard in orchards and vineyards through the nineteenth century, when hand pruning remained the main way to shape fruit trees and vines before powered equipment took over much of farm work. Plates of this kind were often produced to help buyers identify the right tool for a specific cut, so the numbering matters as much as the drawings themselves. Look closely at the differences between the shears, saws, and hooked blades, which show how much design effort went into a task that still depends on a steady hand.
