How about documentation and plans for a 16th Century German Wheelbarrow?

Following up myself: 

I tried images.google with wheelbarrow and medieval. Got:

http://images.google.com/images?as_q=wheelbarrow+medieval&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&imgsz=&as_filetype=&imgc=&as_sitesearch=&imgsafe=off

The upper left has two pics from
scholar.chem.nyu.edu/~tekpages/wheelbarrow.html. The link has a quick history of
the wheelbarrow.

On the upper right of the Google page is a link to www.ralphmag.org/newY, which
is a review of books. Go past the one re. Shatner, to the second review, of
_Plans and Instructions For Historical Reproductions_ by Daniel Diehl and Mark
Donnelly. Nice couple of 'blueprints' on that page. 

None of the other results pulled up in this search actually have anything to do
with wheelbarrows---I guess the images.google search engine needs more work. :/

Stefan,

Do you have access to _The Hours of Mary of Burgundy_?  I have a
facsimile copy, and there is a picture of man pushing a wheelbarrow.
It's in the marginalia on page 164.  I assume it's reasonably
realistic, despite the fact that its "load" is either a monkey or a
small demon.  I would scan the picture if I could get my scanner to
work....

Subject: [Sca-cooks] Pictures of agricultural tools

I was browsing around the Fons Grewe website, which has page
images of 16th-18th c. cookbooks, and other food-related texts.
One of them, a 1575 Italian agricultural manual, has pictures of
tools and equipment in the back.

Type 453 in the search window, and click "anar a" (jump to).
Clicking "endavant" will move you one page forward, "enrera" will
move you one page back.  "Inici" takes you to the first page.

(Stefan, there are wheelbarrows on 456.)
