Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Oval image. Group of carpenters at work, engaged in making a piece of furniture in European style. 'The operation of turning is shown in the plate: a square frame, consisting of two heavy pieces of wood for sides, with cross pieces which pass through the sides, and can be adjusted as to width by wedges. The work to be turned is fastened between two iron points, the frame laid on the ground, and the wood is turned by an assistant sitting in front, who passes a smooth rope twice or thrice round the wood, and pulls steadily first one end, then the other, till the wood acquires a rapid motion. The turner sits behind, applying his chisel held in a rest to the wood whenever the motion is towards him...'
