The Wisconsin-born Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is recognized
worldwide as an iconic architectural genius. In 1911 he designed
Taliesin to use as his personal residence, architectural studio,
and working farm. A century later Randolph C. Henning has assembled
a splendid collection of rare vintage postcards, some never before
published, that provides a revealing and visually unique journey
through Wright's work at Taliesin. Included are intimate images of
Taliesin at various 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 details and accompany each
image. "Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin" documents and celebrates
Wright's 100-year-old masterpiece.
