One of the rarest and most sought after books by Frank LLoyd Wright. I have owned this for many years but now find it is time to part with the book and put it in a good home. This is a very special publication, made of Fibrous Japanese paper endsheets. Printed on Japan vellum. First printing of the first edition, preceded by another printing which Wright disliked and destroyed. Depending on the reference, there were either thirty-five or fifty copies printed. This is a well cared for copy, see images as they are part of the description. This book offers an analysis of the print and the theories set forth in text can be read as a statement about Wrights approach to architecture. During his Oak Park years, Wright achieved in his buildings the qualities he admired most in the Japanese print: geometric abstraction, balance, a sense of repose, and above all, a simplicity attained by eliminating the inessential.
