This drawing will be delivered rolled (the drawings were rolled, we laid them flat to photograph them). For the condition, we note several tears on the edges and stains in places. Among the Compagnons carpenters and stonemasons the heart of the transmission of knowledge and the study of projective geometry for the cutting of wood and stones, which is also called "descriptive" or, quite simply, the "Trait". To simplify, this method makes it possible to draw each of the parts making up a vault or a frame according to its true size, which greatly facilitates the transition from design to execution. This "art of the Line", once more or less secret, has been transmitted since the 16th century by two channels: on the one hand, the publication of printed treatises and, on the other hand, the evening classes followed by the companions during their Tour de France.
