Agate presents its current favorite.
Within our collections, numerous illustrations or photographs deserve to be exhibited for their aesthetic quality or originality. Today, let's take a lesson in physics with a drawing illustrating the effort required to move a tractor alone on sloping ground.

    Agate presents its current favorite.
    New titles will soon join Agate's collections, books, images and magazines. One of them, C. Arnould's "Calendar of the Beekeeper" published in 1908, offers beautiful and humorous illustrations. Our favourite is this cycling bee, a mode of transport so fashionable at the beginning of the 20th century when this book was published.
