1938 Antique metalworking machines & tools print

The scent of freshly machined metal, the glinting metal shavings, the lovely gleam on a finished piece, a dusty workshop with a patient  metal worker bent over his work and his pride over handmade finished pieces...  this lovely print evokes just that!
This page,  which illustrated the "Machine Outils" article of a 1938 French Quillet dictionary (machine tools or machinery in French) shows a large selection of the first machine tools which were used at the time. Every tool and some of the individual parts of each machine are labeled in French.

The reverse is printed with other dictionary articles.

Frame it and gift it to your favorite metal worker or mechanic for a timeless workshop decor!

𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 : This is not a copy but a physical dictionary page from 1938, which comes from a damaged volume. The edges of the paper are slightly yellowed but the image itself is in very good condition. This is dictionary paper so it is quite thin and the page has one indentation on the right side.

𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚:
- Ships from Switzerland in a cellophane bag and a cardboard-reinforced envelope.
- The mat and frame are NOT included.
