Plows are the subject here, shown as a page of numbered engravings, each figure keyed to a plow type for the reader to compare. Engraved agricultural plates like this were a standard way to teach farmers and implement makers how different designs differed in their shares, beams and handles. Before tractors took over fieldwork in the twentieth century, the moldboard plow was the basic tool for turning sod and burying weeds, and printed catalogues and farm manuals spread these comparisons widely. The numbering makes the page read like a reference chart, which is worth noticing if you are interested in how farm knowledge was passed along on paper.
