About this work

This image shows a neat row of woodworking tools, all drawn in black and white. There are chisels, brushes, a small workbench, and even a curved tool that looks like it might hold ink. Each tool is labeled with letters and numbers, like a guidebook for carving or printing. The tools look old-fashioned, like they were used for detailed work. The text at the bottom says *Gravure en Bois, Outils*, which means "wood engraving tools" in French. If you like this, check out the technique: engraving.
