Typewriter works by Montserrat Alberich Escardívol (1912-1973). Her first exhibition was in 1929 (including the Don Quijote image above) and she continued to type graphics most of her life. The typewriter company Underwood gave her a customized typewriter in 1957, with a few custom characters and a width of 310 characters. Presumably, the Barcelona Cathedral image was made some time after that. She used around 20 colour ribbons, which helped to set her apart from many other typewriter artists.

Carl Fernbach-Flarsheim - Boolean Image/Conceptual Typewriter. From the exhibition Software in NYC, 1970. According to the under-age programmers of this piece, The R.E.S.I.S.T.O.R.S:

The exhibit was an anti-climax. The show opened in the summer, when it was rather hot, and the heat from all the computers made it even hotter. To keep the IDIIOM from overheating, they stuck a block of dry ice underneath which worked OK, but when the company saw what was happening to their computer, they took it home.
