Created by an anonymous European School artist, this engraving is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate craftsmanship involved in this profession. The image was originally featured in "Le Vocabulaire Illustre des Mots Usuels, Francais, Anglais, Allemands" a comprehensive illustrated dictionary published around 1873. The book aimed to provide knowledge and understanding of everyday words in French, English, and German languages.
