Jan Brandes' "Pantograaf" from 1787-1808 is a technical drawing that showcases a pantograph, a drafting tool used for enlarging or reducing images. This detailed drawing, measuring 330 mm in height and 415 mm in width, displays two different views of the pantograph, revealing its intricate mechanisms. As a Dutch artist, Brandes' interest in scientific instruments is reflected in this technical drawing.
