Unlike most of the farm scenes on this board, this numbered engraved plate turns to the slaughterhouse and meat-cutting room, showing machinery used once livestock left the farm. Plates of this kind typically accompanied a technical text, with each numbered figure keyed to a description so readers could identify every part of the equipment. As meatpacking grew into a large industry in the late nineteenth century, illustrations like this helped explain how animals raised on farms were turned into processed goods, and the fine linework is worth a close look.
