Excavating machines and a sketch-map of Populonia
A mechanical earth-digging device, with a topographical jotting labelled Populonia
Below an indistinct organic form, the sheet carries a rough sketch identified as an excavating machine, a wheel-and-frame device with an arm for digging and moving earth. A separate cartographic jotting is labelled with the place-name Populonia. The two brief captions are the only text on the page.
