This copy, as is seen on the flyleaf inscription, was owned by Mr John Edward Dore, son of Mr Thomas Dore "The Governor" who was Clerk of Works at the St John the Baptist Church construction project from 1906 until completed. Mr JE Dore's contribution was as his father's "right hand man" presumably from 1906 to 1912, during which time he looked after various construction tasks.
Mr JE Dore has added a number of ink annotations regarding individuals and aspects of the building of St John's.

"The fourth view affords an idea of the front avenue just where it sweeps round the curve to the principal entrance of the Convent. Away to the left may be seen part of the High School buildings, while at the right the top of the chapel entrance is just visible above through the limes and copper-beeches."
Notre Dame Convent
St. Catherine's Hill, Norwich.
This Convent is pleasantly and healthfully situated on the outskirts of this interesting city. The gardens and playgrounds are very fine, the field and plantations affording full scope for the enjoyment of the peculiarly bracing air of Norfolk.
Young ladies are received as boarders and, when desired, are prepared for the St. Andrews L.L.A., Oxford Locals, and other examinations such as the Royal Drawing
IMA Society, the Royal Academy of Music, etc.
The first view gives a general view of the Convent to the left and the Boarding School Buildings on the right. The foreground shows part of the pupils' hockey ground.
The second picture shows part of the lawn as seen from the back. To the left is a portion of the Convent buildings and to the right the refectory windows.
The third is a pretty rendering of part of the terraced ground near the Chapel and leading by the conservatories round to the main avenue.
The fourth view affords an idea of the front avenue just where it sweeps round the curve to the principal entrance of the Convent. Away to the left may be seen part of the High School buildings, while at the right the top of the chapel entrance is just visible above through the limes and copper-beeches.
The next view also shows a particularly pretty part of the long shady avenue. The turf on both sides is studded with grand old trees among which the children delight in "hide and seek."
The last view gives a good idea of the Chapel Sanctuary. The beautiful brass and alabaster communion rails show up well and a glimpse of the mosaic tiling round the altar is given through the rails.
