Frank Lloyd Wright, Ausgeführte Bauten WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd. First American Edition First American Edition. A rare and scarce survival, most copies were destroyed in a fire at Taliesin in 1914. Though intended to be included with Frank Lloyd Wright’s great 1910 “Wasmuth Portfolio” of line drawings and plans, this photographic accompaniment (often termed the “little Wasmuth”) was completed after that publication, and also following an earlier German edition that Wright rejected and then re-issued as this “American” edition (albeit with German title intact). Contains the first published photographs of Wright’s buildings, including the Dana House (Springfield, IL), the Martin House and Larkin Factory (Buffalo, NY) and others. Frank Lloyd Wright, Ausgeführte Bauten. Berlin: Erst Wasmuth, 1911. At best very good, tipped-in color plate intact, but showing evidence of water damage (associated with the fire at Taliesin), including spots of mold stains. Several points of discoloration to the printed wrappers, and overall wear to extremities, especially disintegration at the spine. Nonetheless a scarce and important photographic survival.
