Argrarische instrumenten: eg en rol 1731

"Argrarische instrumenten: eg en rol" (Agricultural implements: harrow and roller) is a 1731 engraving by Bernard Picart, depicting a detailed plan of a harrow, an agricultural tool used for breaking up clods of soil after plowing. The image details the different parts of the harrow in a clear and concise manner, making this a valuable resource for understanding the technology of farming in the 18th century. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist’s keen interest in scientific observation and the technical aspects of agriculture.
