Description: Elephant folio (25-1/2" x 16"). With the (32)pp. Text booklet (17" x 11"), and the portfolio of 100 drawings and plans of buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Half black cloth over printed boards with mounted red & white label on front board. Included in the portfolio are loosely housed plates (reproduced from the original transparencies) with designs for 70 buildings and projects created by Wright between 1893 and 1909. Edition limited to 2,600 numbered copies (this is # 317-D). The text booklet, in printed wrappers stapled at inner margin, contains the foreword by Peters and a description of the plates. A fine, as new copy still in its original shipping box. This portfolio of architectural drawings from the first period of Wright's career was originally published in Germany by Wasmuth in 1910, under the title "Ausgefuhrte Bauten und Entwurfe." It was virtually unknown in America because a fire at Taliesin in 1914 destroyed that portion of the printing intended for American distribution. Entire schools of architectural design and thought are, in many cases, founded on the individual buildings presented here. They include the W. H. Winslow house (1893), the Unity Temple at Oak Park (1906) and perhaps the finest of the "Prairie Houses," the Frederic C. Robie house (1909). This publication was authorized by Wright in 1958, just a year before his death.
