Figure 28. — About 1631: The preceding illustrations emphasize the divergent appearance of European 

 and Anglo-American tools. This, however, was not always the case. The woodworker's shop by the 

 Dutch engraver Jan Van Vliet suggests the similarity between English and European tool types in the 1 7th 

 century. Note in particular the planes, axe, brace, and auger as compared to Moxon. (Library of 

 Congress, Division of Prints and Photographs.)
