1830 · Precision Toolmaking · Werk 483 von 1.871

A toolmaker's workshop of 1830 with a heavy screw-cutting lathe at its centre, an iron bed with brass fittings and a treadle and belt beneath, gauges, taps and dies racked on the plank wall behind, rows of identical half-finished brass wheels laid out on a bench in the foreground, each wheel toothed and bright and lying flat, the room in desaturated greys with the brass warm against them, even flat light from directly overhead.
