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 Wrightrs"s Taliesindocuments and celebrates Wrightrs"s 100-year-old masterpiece.
