As indicated the coming series will follow an entirely new plan. Instead of illustrating modern Atlantic Terra Cotta the contents will be confined to illustrations of early Italian Terra Cotta". This issue focuses on "The Ospedale Maggiore Milan": "Started by Filarete of Florence in 1456 thirty-six years before Columbus sailed and continued by other architects in succession the Ospedale Maggiore was finally completed by Richini in 1626." "The materials uses were standard at the time as they are to-day; stone up to the water table and brick and Terra Cotta above ; the pilaster and column shafts of local stone. The illustrations show the building but slightly scarred the Terra Cotta not at all impaired by nearly five centuries of time."</p> New York: Atlantic Terra Cotta Company, 1922. paperback
