Mon Dieu ! Quel trésor.

This has to be the 1st picture I have seen of a production center for making barrels from 1890. Incredible...


This has as much detail as Puraye's "Le Damas" about the steps to produce damascus.


Jaycee what an incredible find, thank you very much. The 1895 catalog has pictures of velcipede production. Plus a complete comic strip on hunting and dog training. The 1900 catalog has actual photos of the factory. Also a long study on smokeless powders, penetration tests...
