Two of the double-page drawings are elevations 1 partly in cross-section the other 2 drawings are floor plans each plan with a folding flap tipped on showing the plan of a higher level. The original designs for the alterations to the chapter library at Verona situated in the Church of St. Helena abutting the famous Cathedral of San Zeno the common wall appears in the drawings. The alteration was ordered by Scipione Maffei 1675-1755 and Jacopo Muselli and executed by the architect Lodovico Perini; it was finished in 1726. In 1713 Maffei a leading scholar poet and man of letters had made a remarkable discovery in the library: in its old cupboards he found late-classical and early Christian manuscripts from the 5th to 9th century stored there centuries earlier apparently to protect them against danger of flooding of the river Adige. On the basis of these old manuscripts and helped by the Canon Carlo Carinelli Maffei formulated a completely new and epoch-making theory regarding the development of the Latin script in three variants: the Roman majuscule the minuscule and the cursive hand showing an uninterrupted evolution from Roman Antiquity to the Renaissance. Maffei published the results of his studies in his Istoria diplomatica 1727 and Verona illustrata 1742. The rediscovery of these old manuscripts also resulted in a revival of Patristic studies and many new editions of the works of the Church Fathers.With some faint stains near the fore-edges an one edge of the loosely inserted drawing and a couple rust spots in the paper but still in very good condition. unknown

Founded originally in 1910 in the City of Portland by David Shope 1862-1948 having developed his specialized brick-making machinery for clay & concrete bricks as featured in the final photograph the companyâ€™s products quickly proved popular with Arts & Crafts architects in the Pacific Northwest. Shope used a patented process to achieve what he termed the â€œRed Wire Cutâ€ and â€œOld Gold Rough Textureâ€ for commercial facades and also used concrete cast stone to achieve special effects and sold his licensed machinery to contractors as well. By 1922 he heavily marketed the fact that the Shope facades were the only ones to mostly survive the 1922 Astoria fire. He also aggressively protected his patents suing competitors on a regular basis. After 1923 he sold out to the Eugene Concrete Pipe Company and returned to Lake City MN where he lived with his daughter Birdie. Gensler 1873-1968 was a German-American photographer in San Francisco CA who operated Columbia Commercial Studio from about 1915 through World War II before moving back to Alameda CA and in two of the photos he has proudly displayed his 1915 Harley-Davidson V-Twin motorcycle in the foreground. We could find no similar album or collection of photographs in any holdings for the Shope Brick Co. Shope Brick Co., [Columbia Commercial Studio, 167 Fourth Ave.], unknown
