Description: Original vintage lithograph. 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.

Author: Anthony Alofsin, Curator.
Description: "Frank Lloyd Wright was in the forefront of modern architects who realized the tremendous potential impact of how architecture is represented. He understood the power of the print media to reach myriads of individuals who would never directly experience his buildings... The folios are the most beautiful compendium of his early work, and they convey the intense interest Wright had in the perfected representation of his architecture... Published over 80 years ago, the plates of the Wasmuth monograph remain works of art, yet these precious objects sill contain within then the power to transform architecture into an ideal representation of how life could be lived.
