Boston. |

launched as a photographic publishing firm in the late 1890s by
Detroit businessman and publisher William A. Livingstone, Jr., and

Dexter Press: Thomas
A. Dexter began Dexter Press, a one-man shop in Pearl River, New
York, in 1920. He produced the very first natural color post
card in 1932. During that same time period, the Burney
brothers, located in Aurora, Missouri, were quickly becoming one of
the largest road map printers in the country.
In 1980, the two
companies combined forces to create MWM Dexter. |

Lake Geneva, Wis.” Back: Made in Germany. James Leonard, Pub., Lake
Geneva, Wis. C.E. Wheelock & Co., Peoria, ILL, Exclusive Importers. 190565".
PM 6/9/13. The Whiting House, built in the early 1870s was destroyed by fire
in 1894. This is the original property where the Hotel Geneva was built in
1911-12. I believe this to be an early four color
collotype printing process.

they are visible in 1903-4. The awnings are visible in this postcard. The
printing is not clear enough to be able to read the reader board above the
door on the left. Frank Lloyd Wright designed three projects in the Fine

"Madison, Wis. The
Rocky Roost In Lake Mendota." Back: "The Hugh C. Leighton Co.,
Manufacturers, Portland, ME., U.S.A. (#) 15040. Made In Germany." PM
7/29/14. Circa 1909. There seems to be a mix of different processes. The sky
has a definite cyan (blue) halftone dot pattern, used in today’s printing
process. But this process appears only in the sky. The rest of the postcard,
including the water in the bottom half, is printed in color using a
cellotype,
photogravure or lithograph process, a
more uneven "dot" process. Under magnification, it appears that the magenta
(red), cyan (blue) and yellow plates most resemble the cellotype process.
The black plate is a very fine photogravure process printed over the three
other colors. Printed in Germany. The Hugh C. Leighton Co. manufactured
postcards from 1906-1909. They merged with Valentine & Sons in 1909. 5.4 x
3.4. See our Wright Study

Hotel Geneva Circa
1911 (Published by C.R. Childs, Chicago). “Hotel Geneva, Lake Geneva,
Wis. 19019-r.” I believe this may be one of very first photos taken of
the Hotel Geneva. Notice the lack of any landscaping, even in the
large vases. Later pictures show the addition of large round lights at
the entrance. The two tall decorative poles at the entrance (far
right) were dramatically shortened in later pictures. 5.5 x 3.5. The

Taliesin, Spring Green, Wis. Circa 1922-26.
(Produced by AZO) "The Terra Cotta Figure in the Garden, Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Bungalow, near Spring green, Wis. 0504" Wright originally used a
plaster cast of a sculpture by Richard Bock, "Flowers in the Crannied Wall,"
as a focal point in the courtyard. Recently it was moved under cover toward
the west end of Hill Wing (See:
Wisconsin Magazine of History,
Holzhueter, August 2005). It was also used in the entry of the Dana House.

growth of the landscaping around the reflecting pool is consistent with the
1922 view. But it is missing the two taller
"Sphere Sculptures" that
are set higher and further back above the entry way. I believe this to be an
early collotype printing process or photogravure. This printing process was

Imperial Hotel (1923) Imperial Hotel
(Front View) (Real photo PC) This is one of just a few photographs that include the two taller
"Sphere Sculptures" that are set higher and further back above the
entry way. They are not visible in the 1922 postcard, and are not
seen in later postcards or images. What remains on the top of
the left column are the two spheres that are actually part of he
column itself. Each side is different. There was a matching
set in the front of the balcony inside the Theatre. They are visible
in a number of photographs and drawings in "Frank
Lloyd Wright in Imperial Hotel" Akashi, 1972, pages 170-171,
190-191, 202, 215, 219, 271, 287, 335. All that is visible in Cary

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. 4.25 x

“Nathan G. Moore House, Oak
Park, Illinois - 1895. Reconstructed after fire - 1923. Frank
Lloyd Wright, architect" One of the most picturesque houses in the
village, the Moore House is unusual because it was one of the few major
pre-Prairie style houses Wright designed in an historic style (English
Tudor). According to Wright, the house was built for a man who did not
want to shock his neighbors, so it does not demonstrate the level of
design innovations Wright had already achieved. (Published

“Arthur Heurtley House -
1902, Oak Park, Illinois. Frank Lloyd Wright, architect"
This house, with its compact form, continuous bans of casement windows,
and living spaces on the second floor, is one of Wright’s early
masterpieces. The banded brickwork, low hipped roof, and wide
overhanging eaves all serve to emphasize the horizontal lines and tie
the building to the breadth of the Illinois landscape. (Published

its tapestry-like pattern, adds a tremendous sense of excitement to the
room. Besides being a place fro receiving clients and contractors,
the reception room served as a link between the draughting room to the
east, Wright’s private office to the south, and the octagonal library to
the west. Photo by John Miller, Hedrich-Blessing. (Published

use of his six children, the playroom is a brilliant example of how he
would play with space. But as expansive as it is, the room is
really scaled and built for children. The mural by Giannini
depicts the Wright children’s favorite story of the Genie and the
Fisherman from the Arabian Nights. 5.9 x 4.1. |

private octagonal library (right). 9 x 4. |

Jiyu Gakuen Girls’ School
(1921 - S.213). Undated set of eight postcards, descriptive sheet and
envelop. The Jiyu Gakuen Girls’ School began on April 15th,
1921 with thirty students. While working on the Imperial Hotel
(1915-1923 - S.194), Frank Lloyd Wright was contacted by Mr. And Mrs. Hani. "This
little school building was designed for the Jiyu-Gakuen - in the same
spirit implied by the name of the school - a free spirit. It was
intended to be simple happy place for happy children - unpretentious -
genuine. It is built in no certified style. It has style all its own.
Whether one likes or dislikes it, the style is harmoniously founded on
right principles... The architects have felt this in working out this
design with Mr. And Mrs. Hani, and are happy to see the building
carrying its children as a tree carries its blossoms. The children seem
to belong to the building in quite the same way as the flowers belong to
the tree, and the building belongs to them as the tree belongs to its
flowers... Frank Lloyd Wright, Arata Endo." Text reprinted from "Our Life in the
Jiyu Gakuen" 1930. Postcards 5.9 x 4.1. Descriptive sheet 5.9 x 12
folded to 5.9 x 4. Envelope 4.75 x 6.7.
