1. There is no chest or box in the upper picture of the plate other than the box (?) on which the workman is resting the plate. I assume this means that the table de bois qui recouvre le coffre is simply the lid of the box — though it is not ‘to the left of the workman’. Fig. 5 of the lower part of the plate shows the box or chest open, and the closed box marked T on the bench is presumably that referred to in the legend to Fig. b of the upper picture. The grill and the ink-block are clearly seen to the right of the closed box on the bench.
