"In 1910-11 the distinguished German architectural publisher Ernst Wasmuth issued a pair of elegant folios covering the work of Frank Lloyd Wright to that date. Among the most important architectural manifestoes of the twentieth century, the 'Wasmuth folios' had enormous influence on the architects of the day, and have since become world famous and highly prized by collectors, scholars, and followers of Wright's career. The first of these folios, a selection of presentation and working drawings of both executed and unexecuted designs, and a catalogue raisonné, is now reprinted in its original format, with Wright's own introduction and comments on each project. The buildings of these years were those of the Oak Park period, roughly 1893-1910, the years perhaps most crucial to Wright's development, in which the principles of design and innovations with which he is identified were first realized, and in which some of his most famous buildings were created. This edition contains a specially commissioned new preface by Wright scholar Anthony Alofsin, who discusses the recently discovered historic background of these folios, and Wright's intention to proffer them as a primer for a new democratic American architecture"--Bookjacket.
