Abstract
 The multiview projections drawn in Monge's Descriptive Geometry had been represented in Gutenberg's printing technique books before Monge as well. These fields include art, architecture, civil engineering, shipbuilding and fortification. Some of these figures are comparable to the problems and solutions in Descriptive Geometry.
 Overseas, studies on Monge's works have been actively conducted until recently and have been reported in academic societies and books.
 This paper provides an opportunity to re-recognize the role that Monge played by introducing examples of geometrical figure and technical drawing together with previous studies, and following the process that Monge invented Descriptive Geometry.
