Along with architect....it had graveur, marbrier, sculpture, carrier,
transformateur, granitier, Taileur de pierre Well, graveur is the one
cutting letters and stuff for signs and monuments, basicly ingraving the
stone.

marbrier would be a marble worker usualy reproducing statue and so on.
tailleur de pierre is stone cutter, shaping stone that will go into
architectural work.

Those are all stone trade and the mag is only for stone workers, now I know
that it comes pretty expensive but for checking a hole lot of the past issue
that it was filled with info depending on the issue but it is mostly
oriented toward architecture and masonery. It does however contain great
clues on the stereotomy, the way of building with stone in a way that shere
pressure and physics hold it all togetter.
