Description:
[Spring Green, WI: Taliesin Press, Spring 1944].. 32pp. Oblong small quarto. Printed wrapper. Vertical crease from having been mailed, light tanning and minor nicks at edges, else a very nice copy of a fragile book. Denoted a "Revised Printer's Proof" of a chapter intended for the revised 1943 edition of AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY, but not included therein and distributed in this form by Taliesin. There was another printing, on newsprint, dated Summer 1943, featuring differences in text and typographic arrangement. Accompanied by a t.l.s., [Np], 27 Aug. 1950, from Wright's secretary, Eugene Masselink, forwarding this copy, along with some other Taliesin papers, to an inquiring party. Uncommon and fragile. OCLC locates six copies, all in North America, as opposed to well over thirty for the "Summer 1943" printing. SWEENEY 2049. OCLC: 3738363.

Paris: Neuhaus, Lith., 1867. Double-spread decorated lithographed title and twenty lithographed line renderings. Folio (50 x 33.5 cm). Contemporary half red morocco and marbled boards, t.e.g. The pictorial title-spread lithographed on cream stock; the renderings are printed on gray stock. Trace of foxing to endleaves, toe of spine and edges rubbed, otherwise very good. First and evidently sole edition of this production showcasing Tronquois' works. Apart from the several plates of detail work, the full scale renderings here are of the main or out-buildings of Château de Bethmont; the Orangerie Observatoir et Sallede Bains (a Villers sur Marne); Villa à St. Greaien; Batiment de Communs à Marnes; Château de la Chaumette; Chateau de Bethmont, and a pigeon house at St. Arnoult. The format suggests this production may have been undertaken as a promotional for Tronquois' services. Stepping across the channel, he was commissioned to design the Chateau Impney in Droitwich, for which he completed plans in 1869, and this production could conceivably have some relationship to lobbying for that commission. Little information about Tronquois seems to be accessible, except for his identification with specific buildings. A scarce work: OCLC/Worldcat locates three copies in France, a copy at Columbia, and a copy at the V&A; a sixth copy is noted under a separate entry at ETH-Bibliothek Zurich and is curiously assigned a Baudry imprint, but other details are sketchy. OCLC: 39252547.

BAIRD, Henry Carey. CABINET MAKER'S ALBUM OF FURNITURE. Philadelphia: Henry Carey Baird, 1868. Small oblong folio (7 x 10 3/4 inches Publisher's cloth. Printed title leaf, leaf listing plates, 48 lithograph plates. First edition. Baird's pattern book was the third such work published in America and one of most pivotal books in shaping American taste. It included a comprehensive ra of items from bureaus, desks, wardrobes, chairs, bookcases, tables, and beds. The style incorporated American colonial design with French and European tast and was heavily influenced by Desire Gulimard's French pattern books. The amalgam of tastes was largely created by Joseph Bonaparte (the elder brother Napoleon) constructing a magnificent house, Point Breeze, twenty-five miles north of Philadelphia. He greatly influenced the monied society that hovered around him, bringing with him sophisticated tastes in furniture not commonly seen before on this side of the Atlantic. A very nice copy with sporadic foxing--some light,…

Casa del HerreroHouse of the Blacksmithstands today as one of the most fully developed and intact examples of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. It was designed and built between 1922 and 1925 as a second house for George Fox Steedman, a St. Louis industrialist. Thought principally to be the work of George Washington Smith, the architect, Steedman himself generated many ideas during the initial design phase that were both a blessing and curse to Smith. Steedmans vision prevailed, and throughout the decade following the houses initial completion, he continued to rework both house and garden, engaging the architects Lutah Maria Riggs, Edwards, Plunkett & Howell, and Floyd Brewster, and garden… Read More
