Engineering. Mechanical Equipment. Punching & Shearing Machine by Caird & Co. c1870

by West, J.

Punching and Shearing Equipment for ironwork. Early tools for structural engineering.

Original engraving circa 1870 by J. West from a drawing of 'modern' equipment by Caird & Co. of Greenock in Scotland.

This is a wonderful engraving with later fine hand-colour that adds to its decorative appeal, in its 'antique white' conservation mount (covered in cellophane for protection), ready for framing.

Approximate size of this antique print, to the engraved border line, is 22 x 33 cm (8.5/8 x 13 inches) External measurement for frame is 37 x 48 cm (14.1/2 x 19.7/8 inches). Unfortunately there is slight damage to the right of the left engraved illustration, which fortunately does not detract particularly from the image. The engraving has been priced appropriately.
