"Figure 17. It is difficult to evaluate the rock-cut Rosary group designed for Montserrat (1904) in this development, owing to the poor quality of our surviving illustration." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Figure 18. [As part of the] interior reform of the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca, [Gaudi] prepared models for the royal tombs." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Figure 19. Of a monument to Jaime el Conquistador he seems to have executed only some painted phrases on old walls in the calle Tapineria." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Figure 20. That [Gaudi's] attention occasionally wandered is attested to by a page of his Surveying class notes in the Reus Museum that is covered with "doodles," including a rather fine study for a capital." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Figure 21. Perhaps the most fruitful interrelationship [between Gaudi and Martorell] came in connection with the group of Catalan-style buildings constructed at Comillas (near Santander) for the Marqueses of Comillas. The first Marques commissioned a large neo-Gothic palace which Martorell carried out between 1878-90." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
"Figure 22. A quantity of building was done at Garraf for the Guells by Francisco Berenguer, Gaudi's closest associate. It consisted of an unusual stone building of triangular section which served as a residence, chapel and warehouse (above), and a gatehouse with brick and remarkable wrought iron work (next picture). Gaudi admired it (Salvador, Arquitecturai IX, 1927, p. 10), and it has been frequently mistaken for his own work." ("Antonio Gaudi," by George R. Collins)
