Title: Battle for Chicago (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York)

Author: Andrews, Wayne

Description: Dust jacket: "This is the story of Chicago's money peerage--the Fields, Armours, Pullmans, Insulls, McCormicks and other families who dominated and enlivened a hundred-year history. Battle for Chicago begins with the city's frontier days and continues through the age of gangsters and finally the Chicago of the 1940's and the newspaper war between Colonel McCormick's Tribune and Marshall Field's Sun..." Excerpts. Pages 151-2: "Sullivan’s battling pupil Frank Lloyd Wright was the only architect who held out against the new academic age and yet manage to earn a good living. With the self- confidence of a genius, he frightened the moderately well-to-do citizens of Oak Park and other Westside suburbs into putting up homes in the horizontal ‘Prairie Style.’ Many of these were surprisingly lovely and even elegant, no matter if the eaves sometimes seem too heavy and the interior is too dark..." Page 257: "Harold McCormick... When Frank Lloyd Wright fell into financial difficulties, he (McCormick) joined a little group of philanthropists who came to the rescue..." Original list price $3.75.

Author: Andrews, Wayne

Description: First published in 1967. This revised and enlarged edition was first published in 1982. Publisher’s description: "Architecture in Michigan, a pictorial survey of Michigan architecture from 1831 to the present, explores the architecture of Detroit and many other cities, towns, and villages. Here is Romantic Michigan, before the Civil War, with dozens of examples of Greek, Gothic, and Italian villas from Grosse lIe to Grass Lake, Tecumseh, and Ypsilanti, as well as Gothic churches. Then there is Glorious Michigan of the exuberant 1870s and 1880s, when architects evoked the Paris of the Second Empire and the doctrine of John Ruskin cast its peculiar spell. And Discreet Michigan, when the wealthy, following the lead of the Vanderbilts in New York, revived the Renaissance as the proper style for Michigan dynasties. And finally Modern Michigan, with Albert Kahn, the greatest factory architect in history, Eliel and Eero Saarinen, the talented Finns, the time when the buildings of modern Michigan began to acquire an international reputation. The expanded text of this unique book dips deep into Michigan history, covering every generation since Michigan entered the Union in 1837."

Title: Architecture in New England, A Photographic History (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by The Stephen Greene Press, Brattleboro, Vermont.)

Author: Andrews, Wayne

Description: Dust Jacket: "And here - in 230 striking photographs, 220 of his own taking, and an evocative text -- Mr. Andrews proves his case. For it was 18th century New England that gave us Peter Harrison, the first American architect. From here, too, spring Asher Benjamin, who published the first American handbook for carpenters and builders... But most important, as Wayne Andrew so well documents in this impressive one-volume panorama of New England architecture, ninety years ago New England -- thanks to Harry Hobson Richardson and McKim, Mead and white – became the lively cradle of modern architecture, setting standards for a man like Paul Rudolph and Eero Saarinen to live up to in our own time." Chapter VIII: "The New Look, or Modern Times. Although Frank Lloyd Wright owed so much to Richardson and to the early work of McKim, Mead & White, he was never to conquer New England. The very best example of his work there is a small house of Professor Theodore Baird of the Amherst faculty..." Although there are other references to Wright, there is only one photograph of his work, the Baird House. Original cost $16.95.  (First Edition)

HEDRICH BLESSING
   
Ken Hedrich and Henry Blessing founded Hedrich Blessing in 1929. When Blessing left for Denver within the year, brother Ed Hedrich came in to manage the office. In 1931 brother Bill came on board as the first of hundreds of photographic assistants who would learn their craft at HB.
       In 1937 Architectural Forum magazine commissioned Hedrich Blessing to photograph recent works of Frank Lloyd Wright. Ken made several trips to Taliesin and formed another lifelong collaboration with Wright. Bill’s images of the Kaufman residence in Pennsylvania so captured the essence of Wright’s masterpiece that it reputedly inspired the name “Falling Water”.
       Although most widely known for its architectural photography, from the outset Hedrich Blessing has been a commercial studio working with designers in related fields such as industrial, annual report, product and editorial photography.
       Today five photographers build upon Hedrich Blessing traditions. Each began as a photographic assistant and was mentored by one or more of their predecessors. Remarkably, there have been only eighteen photographers on camera in the firm’s 80 year history. Collaborative relationships with architects and designers remain a hallmark at Hedrich Blessing.

Date: 1966

Title: Witness To Our Time (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by The Viking Press, Inc., New York, New York)

Author: Eisenstaedt, Alfred

Description: Dust jacket: "Both as a collection of great photographs and for its coverage of famous people and historic events by a single photographer, witness to our time is unique in the history of book publishing. From the late 1920s to the year 1966, Alfred Eisenstaedt – a staff photographer of life from its beginning in 1936 – has probably traveled more miles and photograph more people in high – and low – places than any other living photographer. That fabulous record of a life behind the lens is set down in this book..."
       In 1956, Eisenstaedt had the opportunity to photograph Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin. Alfred Eisenstaedt writes in Time Magazine (June 11, 1956, page 17) and Modern Photography that "I shall always remember my assignment to photograph Frank Lloyd Wright. It was done under such rushed, almost impossible conditions." He had just photographed Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and Dr. Jacques Maritain in Princeton, N.J. early in the day. He rushed back to his office. Caught a plane to Madison arriving a midnight. Had a few hours of sleep, and rushed to Taliesin to photograph Wright the next day. He was only at Taliesin for two hours. All were shot within 45 minutes and with three rolls of film. This is just one of the many images photographed that day. An in depth article describing his photo shoot at Taliesin is published in Modern Photography, September 1957, pages 52-57, 110-112.
       One of the photographs taken that day is published in this volume, page 208. Original list price $16.50. (First Edition)

GILMAN LANE
   
Possibly a self portrait by Gilman Lane, American Photography, June, 1918, page 364. Courtesy of American Photography. Gilman Lane photographed building in the Chicago area including many of Wright’s work. Upon his death in 1961, Lane donated his collection of over 700 photographs to the Oak Park Public Library. According to William Jerousek, Librarian at the OPPL, Lane was an industrial arts teacher at the Oak Park-River Forest High School from 1923 to 1957.
       But Lane's interest in photograph proceeded his teaching career in Oak Park. In the June, 1918 issue of American Photography, he wrote lengthy technical article entitled "A Daylight Enlarger to be used in any Lighted Room". It reads like an article written by one professional photographer to another. This leads one to wonder if he may have tried his hand as a professional photographer, but opted for the steady paycheck as a teacher, never giving up his first love of photography.
       Whether a one-time professional, part time freelance, or "amateur", the results were anything but amateur. He left an early record of over 150 Wright buildings. In the seminal Biography of Wright's Work by
Henry-Russell Hitchcock, "The Nature of Materials", Hitchcock credits Henry Fuermann and Sons, and "another important group of photographs taken by Gilman Lane... who has been photographing Wright's work for many years, and who has taken many new photographs particularly for this book."

GRANT CARPENTER MANSON (1904-1997)
   
Architectural historian Grant Carpenter Manson first met Mr. Wright in 1938. He had decided to make Wright the subject of his doctoral dissertation while at Harvard. He felt it essential to meet Wright and so in September he headed toward Spring Green from Massachusetts. Upon reaching Chicago, he placed a call to Spring Green and asked the operator “to put him through to Mr. Wright”. He heard his voice for the first time. Manson took photographs between 1937 and 1941 while researching for his doctoral dissertation titled “Frank Lloyd Wright's Work Before 1910". While a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he elaborated his thesis and published his book “Frank Lloyd Wright to 1910: The First Golden Age" in 1958. Upon publication, Manson hand delivered a copy of the book to Wright in New York.
       Mr. Manson gave the photographs and other materials to the library in July 1973. Grant Carpenter Manson (1904-1997).

JULIUS SHULMAN
   
Date: 1998

Title: Julius Shulman, Architecture and its Photography (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Taschen, Koln, Lisboa, London, New York, Paris, Tokyo)

Author: Shulman, Julius

Description: Dust jacket: American photographer Julius Shulman's images of Californian architecture have burned themselves into the retina of the 20th century. A book on modern architecture without Shulman is inconceivable. Some of his architectural photographs, like the iconic views of Frank Lloyd Wright's or Pierre Koenig's remarkable structures, have been published countless times. The brilliance of buildings like those by Charles Eames, as well as those of his close friend Richard Neutra, was first brought to light by Shulman's photography. The clarity of his work demanded that architectural photography had to be considered as an independent art form. Each Shulman image unites perception and understanding of the buildings and their place in the landscape. The precise compositions reveal not just the architecrural ideas behind a building's surface, but also the visions and hopes of an entire age...
       Includes 10 photographs related to Frank Lloyd Wright, Sturges, Taliesin West (3), V. C. Morris (2), Freeman (2), Ennis, and Guggenheim. (First Edition)

Title: Ezra Stoller, Photography of Architecture 1939-1980 (Soft Cover) (Published by Max Protetch Gallery, New York, New York)

Author: Drexler, Arthur

Description: Produced in conjunction with an exhibition held at Max Protetch Gallery, New York, December 4, 1980 - January 12, 1981. "In the years after World War II, when American optimism about modern architecture was at its zenith, architectural photography assumed a new importance. Photographs were no longer simply records of built facts, or even poetic interpretations. They became missionary tracks published into the world, teaching the people the demanding but redemptive art of looking at modern buildings... Ezra Stoller's photographs are now part of the history of modern architecture in the United States. If he made some buildings look a little better than they were, the improvement provided an image for aspiring architects..." Of the 16 photographs published in the catalog, four are of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work: Johnson Wax Research Tower 1950, Fallingwater 1963 (2), and the Guggenheim Museum 1959. (First Edition)

Title: Ezra Stoller, Photographer (Hard Cover) (Puvlished by Yale University Press, New Haven, Connecticut, London)

Author: Rappaport, Nina; Stoller, Erica; Intro: Grundberg

Description: Publisher’s description: “A long-awaited survey of the full range of Stoller's stunning photography Ezra Stoller's iconic photographs of 20th-century architectural masterpieces, such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, are often cited in aiding the rise of modernism in America. Stoller  (1915-2004) elevated architectural photography to an art form, capturing the mood of numerous buildings in their best light. Living and working in New York from the early 1940s to the mid-1970s, Stoller photographed buildings by such architects as Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen, Marcel Breuer, Paul Rudolph, and Louis I. Kahn. His striking images earned him the admiration of critics and contemporaries, but few people are aware of the stunning breadth of his oeuvre, which also included domestic and industrial spaces and important editorial depictions of American labor in the 1950s and 1960s...” Includes many photographs of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work.
