'Papirolas - Volume 1' by Vicente Solorzano Sagredo was published by Libreria de la Salud in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1938. It was republished in 1943 by Libreria Santaren in Vallidolid, Spain. The information on this page is taken from the 1943 printing. However, I believe the main content of the work is identical in the 1938 and 1943 versions. My grateful thanks to Juan Gimeno for letting me see the 1943 copy of this work.

Indice general de la obra (General index of the work): By the 'work' here is meant the whole work which was originally planned to be published in ten volumes. Only the first three were in fact published. However, the scheme, and particularly the photographs within the scheme, are useful in identifying some of the designs which Solorzano had created at this time but which are explained in more detail in later publications. Details can be found in the Analysis below.
