Description

The Wisconsin-born Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) is recognized around the globe as an iconic architectural genius. In 1911 he designed Taliesin to make use of as his personal place of dwelling, architectural studio, and working farm. A century later Randolph C. Henning has assembled a splendid choice of rare vintage postcards, some never before published, that gives a revealing and visually unique journey through Wright’s work at Taliesin. Included are intimate images of Taliesin at quite a lot of stages and views of the building just after the tragic 1914 fire. The postcards also depict nearby buildings designed by Wright, including the Romeo and Juliet windmill and two buildings for the Hillside Home School. Henning provides useful explanations that highlight relevant main points and accompany each and every image. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin documents and celebrates Wright’s one hundred-year-old masterpiece.
