"Plate 83. Dining room on the principal floor of the Casa Batllo. Outside of the windows can be seen the terrace garden that goes with this, the owner's apartment." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 84. Ceramic roofing and pinnacle of the Casa Batllo, 1905-07." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 85. lustered chimney pots of the Casa Batllo present a rather ecclesiastical appearance." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 86. Facade of the Casa Mila of Barcelona, 1905-10. The Municipality objected to the pier at the left that juts out into the sidewalk, but backed down when Gaudi threatened to knock the pier out altogether." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 87. Gaudi's original drawing for the exterior of the Casa Mila, signed by himself and by the Milas." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Plate 88. Casa Mila. Above the entrance we see the three-part balcony of the proprietor, Dona Rosario Mila, whose monogram ("M" and a rose) appears on the cornice of the building. Her apartment contains more than 20 rooms, most of them large, a private chapel and a theater-salon." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
