Hand and Machine Woodwork

This item is identified as a book, specifically the title page of a publication titled "HAND AND MACHINE WOODWORK." The page is a off-white or cream color, indicating aging in the paper, which is common for older books. The text is printed in black ink, primarily in a sans-serif font for the main title and a serif font for the author and publisher details. The layout is clean and simple, with the title prominently displayed at the top, followed by the author H. G. Miller and his affiliation as Technical Director at Glendale High School, Tillsonburg, Ontario. Below this, G. Fantuz and Keith King are credited as illustrators. The publisher, "THE MACMILLAN COMPANY OF CANADA LIMITED," and the city of publication, "TORONTO," are listed at the bottom. The page exhibits some minor creasing and subtle discoloration, consistent with a book in good condition as stated in the context. There are no major tears, significant stains, or overt damage visible. The page appears to be part of a bound volume, with the left edge showing the binding crease. Given the publisher and the specific educational affiliation of the author, this book likely dates from the mid to late 20th century. The quality of the printing appears standard for educational texts of that era, focusing on clarity and functionality over elaborate design.
