Description: Scrapbook page contains one photograph of the interior of the San Marco Cathedral, with annotated information explaining the history and architectural design of the site.

Transcription: In the vestibule in the front of the main entrance a lozenge of red and white marble marks the spot where one July day in 1177 the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa knelt before Pope Alexander III saying, "Non tibi sed Petro" to whom the Pope proudly replied "Et mihi et Petro." Over the main door is a mosaic of the "Crucifixion" designed by Titian. The older mosaics are of the 11th Century. The many colored marbles of the floor are wavy caused by inundations. Under the high altar rest the bones of Saint Mark brought to Venice from Alexandria. They were burned up in 976 but that fact does not disturb the faithful. The Relics are still there!
