YEAR DESCRIPTION ST# 1940 Apprentice picnic 1940, Taliesin, Spring Green. Photographed by Pedro E. Guerrero. “The daily picnics were expertly organized.

Borglum Rock was a lovely wooded terrace some miles away from Taliesin on a sheer escarpment overlooking a breathtaking ravine. "During one summer of late the 1930's while Gutzon Borglum was working on the Mount Rushmore heads, he visited Taliesin and attended one of the picnics. They later names the spot Borglum Rock". Mr. And Mrs. Wright seated. Apprentices include: Foreground (l-r) Alan Lape Davison, Davy (far left); Ernst Wallfisch (in hat); Donald Brown (third); Ann Purcell (far right, violinist and part of the piano quartet from the Dallas Symphony that summer, which also included Ernst & Lorry Walfish, piano and viola respectively, and Signa Sandstrom, cello). It was a tradition of the Wrights when they were at Taliesin Spring Green, to have a picnic Sunday afternoons. Apprentices cooked the food, packed it, the dishes and silverware, and hauled everything to a scenic spot at Taliesin or close by.
