⁂ Reprint of the famous "Wasmuth Portfolio" originally published by Ernest Wasmuth in Berlin in 1910, one of the most important architectural works of the 20th century. The portfolio was a collection of Wright's designs up to that time and introduced his "Prairie Style" of architecture to Europe, where it was received enthusiastically by young architects such as Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier. The majority of the copies of the portfolio for distribution in America were destroyed by a fire in the basement at Wright's house Taliesin in 1914.
