Presents clues based on some of the builders' drawings on monuments. This book also investigates the drawing techniques of carpenters and wood-carvers. It shows that the medieval drawing techniques continued in use after the end of the Middle Ages, and demonstrates how craftsmen working for Christopher Wren used some of the old techniques.
