The print, created by the American School in the 19th century, is now housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. The image features an array of tools and machinery used in traditional Chinese farming practices. From hoes to rakes, these implements were essential for cultivating crops and tending to the land. Each tool represents centuries of innovation and expertise passed down through generations. As we examine this engraving closely, we can appreciate not only the practicality but also the artistry behind these inventions. The intricate details captured by James Ackerman, an esteemed lithographer from New York, highlight both functionality and beauty.

This artwork serves as a testament to cultural exchange and exploration between nations. Through this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness how ancient civilizations like China utilized their resources ingeniously for agricultural purposes.
