Description

This plan of the Tarragona County Council building, dated 1930 and made by heliographic copy, is a valuable testimony both from an architectural and technological point of view. The building, an institutional and administrative symbol of the city, reflects the official architecture of the time and the consolidation of local power within the framework of the Catalan territorial organization. The heliographic technique, based on photographic reproduction with sunlight, shows the evolution of systems for copying and disseminating technical documents, at a time of modernization of public services.
