Reproductie van een gravure van een bolvormig wastoestel before 1892

This engraving by Dutch artist Rimmer van der Meulen (1850-1925) depicts a spherical, mechanized paper-making machine. The image, likely from a technical manual, shows a large vat of pulp being stirred. The machine was designed to improve the quality and efficiency of paper production and represents the industrialization of the papermaking industry. This illustration offers a glimpse into the technology used in the late 19th century for paper production.
