Date: 1896

Title: The House Beautiful  (Original Collotype Proof)  (Proof photographed and hand printed by Frank Lloyd Wright circa 1896.  Proof on Japanese tissue before publication of "The House Beautiful" by William Channing Gannett. Auvergne Press, River Forest, Ill., 1897. Design: Frank Lloyd Wright.

Author: Wright, Frank Lloyd

Description: After commissioning Wright to design his home in 1893, William Herman Winslow also charged him with the design of this book, which they printed together by hand. The text is a quintessential expression of Arts and Crafts philosophy, but the design, apart from its great emphasis on decoration does not follow the usual Arts and Crafts lines. Rather it shows the innovative brilliance of Wright, ahead of his time in bookwork, just as he was giving the lead in architecture.   Published in: (Decorative Designs - Hanks, Pg 4), (Arch Rev 6/1900 pg 63), (Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie, Birk, Pg 77). This item was exhibited in Japan from January 2 - July 28, 1991 at four different museums as part of the exhibit titled “Frank Lloyd Wright Retrospective”.  It was also printed in the Guide with the same name, page 225, item #183.  (Sweeney 18)

Description: Informational brochure for the exhibition. "Frank Lloyd Wright has captured the American imagination as has no other architect... Wright is a compelling study as a cultural figure as well as a designer. A staunch individualist, he continually renewed himself over the years, emerging from personal scandal and financial difficulties with fresh ideas and reconfirmed convictions... Frank Lloyd Wright Architect is the largest exhibition of his work since his death thirty-five years ago. Extending to two floors of the Museum, it presents over one hundred projects in a variety of mediums - models, photographs, full-scale wall constructions, architectural fragments and 350 original drawings that convey the architect’s unique vision, prodigious imagination, and indefatigable energy." Includes five photographs, three illustrations and lectures by Vincent J. Scully, Narcisco G. Menocal, Bruce Brooks Pfieffer and Thomas S. Hines. Cover photograph by the Photographic Department, S.C. Johnson & Sons, Inc. Gift from Kathryn Smith.
