According to
Penny Fowler, "William Norman Guthrie, pastor of St. Marks-in-the-Bouwerie,
approached Wright in 1927 with the idea of building an income-producing
apartment tower next to his church. Through Guthrie, Wright became
acquainted with Horace Holley, the managing editor of ‘World Unity’...
The monthly journal was published between October 1927 and March 1935...
Wright reviewed Le Corbusier’s ‘Toward a New Architecture’ for the Sept.
1928 issue (S.215)... he offered to design a new cover for ‘World
Unity’... Holley was delighted with Wright’s designs, and particularly
impressed at the idea that the front and back covers could be treated as
a single unit... the October (1929) cover featured Wright’s design...
The back cover simply notes: ‘Cover designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’...
when the April 1930 issue appeared, Wright’s design had been modified -
evidently without his approval. He frostily dismissed the cover...
‘World Unity’ kept the modified cover design (absent Wright’s name) for
the next three years." Excerpts from
Graphic Artist 2002, p 104-109.
