Josep Masriera

In 1867, he was back at the Escola for some graduate courses and returned to Paris for the International Exhibition to see the latest trends in jewelry.

[1] In 1869, he was appointed President of the "Guild of Jewellers and Silversmiths" and became Secretary of the liberal arts division of the "Association for the Encouragement of National Production", a protectionist group.

[1] Between 1882 and 1884, he and Francesc built an elaborate workshop on Bailen Street, modeled after the ancient Temple of Augustus on Mont Tàber.

Flanking the entrance were statues of Eduardo Rosales and Marià Fortuny, created by Josep Reynés.

No issues were ever published, but the manuscripts provide an important historical record of the art scene in Barcelona.
