The "Wasmuth Portfolio" (2 folio volumes, 100 plates) is considered the most important and influential architectural monograph of the 20th century. 1000 sets were printed, with 500 set aside for American distribution. According to Wright, most of the American sets were destroyed or water damaged in the Taliesin fire of 1914. This print has some water and smoke damage along the right border from that fire. In the lower margin is the embossed dry stamp of Wright's square logo with his name. This is one of the most important and desirable images of the series. There are only a few interior views.
