A long strip of engraved plate gradually unfolds at the end of this 19th-century printmaking manual. Various instruments related to printmaking are numbered according to the preceding text. The upper-left corner of the illustration presents an engraver’s table, a drawer for storage, and equipment for tempering light reflection on metal plates. This is followed by a comprehensive list of tools specific to etching and samples of lines drawn by various etching-needles.
