Historical Timber Harvesting Techniques - Illustration of Manual Logging #22998 (License: Personal Use)

The black-and-white line drawing illustrates two individuals engaged in traditional timber harvesting-likely from the late 1800s-using simple hand tools and wooden aids. One person holds a long plank against a standing tree trunk, possibly as a guide or brace, while the other applies leverage with a horizontal bar, suggesting log splitting or felling preparation. Scattered cut logs on the forest floor indicate active logging work in a dense woodland setting.
