This image is a detailed architectural illustration depicting two different sectional views of a furnace used for the processing of metal, specifically for alloys involving billon and copper. The drawing is divided into two parts. The upper part (Fig. 1) appears to show a horizontal cross-section of a room or a chamber with a distinct stepped platform and an arrangement likely used for coin minting or metal processing, given the title "Monnoyage," which relates to coining or minting. The lower part (Fig. 2) illustrates a different perspective, perhaps a vertical cross-section, which shows an arch-like structure within a chamber, probably indicating a furnace or kiln. The details suggest a process of heating or melting, depicting brick construction, a dome-like arch, and internal elements designed to manage heat and the flow of materials within the furnace. The accompanying labels and the term "Fourneau pour le Billon et le Cuivre" specify that this furnace is for processing billon (a low-grade silver alloy) and copper, indicating its use in metallurgy or minting practices.

This image appears to be a vintage illustration or engraving from a book or manuscript, based on the texture of the paper and the style of the artwork. It shows a cross-sectional architectural drawing of what looks like a furnace or kiln, possibly used for smelting or refining metals, as indicated by the text "Monnayage," which refers to minting or coining, and "fourneau pour le Billon et le Cuivre," which translates to "furnace for Bullion and Copper." The drawing is detailed, highlighting the construction of the furnace with bricks and the mechanisms for operating it. On the upper left, there's a small section with a door or hatch (labeled with letters A, B, and C), opening to the interior of a structure. Below it, there's a large vaulted chamber (labeled with D and E), possibly the main area for metal processing. There are stairs leading down to the chamber, and what looks like another hatch on the stairs. The cross-section allows viewers to understand the interior layout and construction of the furnace. In the bottom left corner, the text "T. l'avoine del." suggests the artist or engraver who worked on this illustration may be named T. l'avoine, and "Benard direxit" is likely referencing the director or supervisor of the engraving process. The plate number "Pl. VII" in the top right corner suggests that this is the seventh plate in a series within the book. The overall condition and style indicate it could be a historical technical diagram from the 18th or 19th century.

This is a technical illustration labeled "Monnoyage, Fourneau pour le Billon et le Cuivre" (Minting, Furnace for Billon and Copper). It shows two different views of what appears to be an industrial furnace design used in coin minting operations. The top image shows a side view of the furnace structure with various components labeled with letters. It appears to be constructed of brick or stone walls with some protruding elements. The bottom image shows a cross-sectional view of the same furnace, featuring a large domed brick oven or heating chamber on the left side and what appears to be additional structural elements on the right. The dome has a distinctive arched design typical of industrial furnaces of the period. This appears to be from a technical or engineering manual, likely from the 18th or early 19th century, given the engraving style and subject matter. The illustration is detailed with careful attention to architectural elements and includes reference letters for different parts of the furnace system.

The image depicts a page from an old book, featuring two illustrations of brick ovens. The top illustration shows a large oven with a door on the front and a chimney on the right side. The bottom illustration displays a smaller oven with a curved roof and a door on the front. Both ovens are made of brick and have a similar design. The page is titled "Monnoyage" in French, which translates to "coinage" or "minting." The text below the title reads "Fourneau pour le Billon et le Cuivre," which means "furnace for billon and copper." Billon is a type of alloy made from copper and silver, and it was commonly used to make coins in the past. The illustrations appear to be from the 18th century, based on the style and the language used in the text. The page is likely from a book about coinage or minting, and it provides a detailed illustration of the types of ovens used in the process.

The image depicts a page from an old book, featuring a detailed illustration of a monnoyage, which appears to be a type of oven or furnace. The illustration is divided into two sections, with the top section showing the exterior of the monnoyage and the bottom section showing the interior. Here is a list of bullet points that describe the image in detail: * **Page Layout** + The page is aged and yellowed, indicating it is from an old book. + The page has a rough, torn edge on the left side, suggesting it may have been removed from the book. + The page number "PL. VI" is visible in the top-right corner. * **Illustration** + The illustration is a detailed drawing of a monnoyage, with intricate lines and shading. + The monnoyage is depicted as a large, rectangular structure with a flat top and a curved bottom. + The exterior of the monnoyage is shown in the top section of the illustration, with a door and a chimney visible. + The interior of the monnoyage is shown in the bottom section of the illustration, with a large, circular oven and a series of bricks and stones visible. * **Text** + The title "Monnoyage" is written in large, cursive letters at the bottom of the page. + The text "Fourneau pour le Billon et le Cuivre" is written in smaller letters below the title, suggesting that the monnoyage is used for smelting copper and silver. + The text "Engraved by Dela" is written in small letters at the bottom-left corner of the page, indicating that the illustration was created by an artist named Dela. In summary, the image depicts a detailed illustration of a monnoyage, a type of oven or furnace, from an old book. The illustration shows the exterior and interior of the monnoyage, with intricate lines and shading. The text on the page provides additional information about the purpose of the monnoyage and the artist who created the illustration.
