Associates for their fine photography; Ronda Kasl for advice, Angeles Reyes, Marjorie Trusted,
Graham Hilleard and the Map House of London for allowing us once again to reproduce one of their
maps and Messrs Pardy and Sons for the invitations.

Finally nothing can possibly fully acknowledge the dedication and sheer grit demonstrated by my
colleague, Andrea C. Gates, who has somehow managed to survive three taskmasters in both Madrid
and London and who has triumphantly brought this venture towards its conclusion. Her assistance and,
I might add, persistence in revising and editing combined with her elegant turn of phrase are all deeply
appreciated.
