The remainder of the book is pristine, the binding is tight and firm and no page marks entries, or toning. Numerous B&W photos and architect renderings are throughoutthe book. The Barcelona Familia is equal parts an engineering marvel and a multi-dimensional work of art."The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia is Gaudi's undoubted masterpiece.

About half of these derive from Flemish workshops, including such highlights of the Brussels tapestry industry as the Triumphs of the Church designed by Rubens for Archduchess Isabella in 1626 and tapestries from the Austrian state collection designed by Jacob Jordaens and others in the 1630s and 1640s. Flemish weavers also played key roles elsewhere in Europe, establishing new enterprises and training native weavers, and the publication also features rare examples from these new workshops."
