This is an image of an historical plate or page from a book or catalog illustrating various tools used for engraving or sculpting medals. The tools depicted are labeled with letters A through T. The top part of the image features tools with bulbous or spherical handles and pointed or chisel-like tips (A-D). There are also two items that resemble elongated blades or chisels (E, F). At the center, a hammer with a bifurcated end (G) is visible, surrounded by various sharp pointed tools (H-M), likely used for detailed engraving work. To the right of these tools is a curved tool (N) and a cylindrical tool with a handle (O). The bottom left corner includes a T-square (P) next to a block with textured surfaces and angular structures (Q), which could be used as a jig or anvil. To the right is a compass-like tool with a screw mechanism (R), and there are a couple more blocks and a cylindrical item (S, T) to its right. At the bottom, the text "Gravure en Medaille" suggests that the tools are specifically for the craft of medal engraving. The print is titled "Pl. III.," indicating this is Plate 3 from a larger collection, and it has a signature "Benard direxit," which may refer to the artist or engraver responsible for the illustration.
