Description

Copper Plate. On the top half of the plate, there are three groups of two "pales," eachof the six a different style. The groups are labelled, "Fig. 1," "Fig. 2" and "Fig. 3." The gate is labelled as such. The engraver has made it appear that both its stiles are planted in the ground. Both the gate and pales are pictured as Plate XXIX of The Carpenters' Company Rule Book of 1786, listed as " 'Pales' for a Palisade fence and a Gate." Discoloration on the back of the plate, but a large "200" is visible in the original copper color.
