This image shows a printed page from a book, specifically identified as plate XX, which appears to illustrate a variety of tools, likely used for metalworking or jewelry-making. The tools are neatly arranged in rows and labeled with "Fig." followed by a number, designating each different tool or part for easy reference. The labels suggest the book might include explanations or descriptions keyed to these figures. Each tool is represented by a detailed black and white illustration. They vary in shape and specific design, but common elements suggest that they are for working with metal—tools such as anvils, hammers, and punches are easily recognizable. The illustration style is highly detailed and precise, indicating that the book was probably intended for professional use or for those interested in the craft of metalworking. The caption at the bottom reads "Orfèvre Grossier, outils," which translates to "Heavy Silversmith, tools" in English, implying these are tools of a silversmith, specifically for robust work. The text "Bernard Direx" may indicate the engraver or printer responsible for this plate.
