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.
