From the Publisher- "As much a philosopher as an architect, his [Frank Lloyd Wright's] vision, ideals, talent and productivity equally enchant and impress us. Wright did not simply design buildings of wood and stone or steel and glass. More than that he saw his profession as a forum to test and espouse his own ideas about man, America, and design. Nature was both his inspiration and his mentor. The lesson learned was harmony which, when applied, gave rise to architectural unity. marrying structure to site, inside to out, and the total design to the rituals and needs of the inhabitants. Walls were not seen as an obstruction to the outdoors, but as a bond between interior and exterior. In developing this collection, we have taken inspiration from varied examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's work in different mediums.".…

Condizione: very good. n.p. c1930. The first: 23x25cm publisher's colour illustrated wrappers, ribbon tied; title leaf, 81 leaves (four of these form two designs with one of each being a layer with cutouts over the other). Covers ragged, a few leaves with closed tears near the beginning; the album has been damp at some time and colours drifted to nearby leaves in places but all acceptable enough. The second: 25x25cm colour printed wrapper; ribbon tied; 42 leaves. Used and well thumbed but solid and decent enough.The fans each about 40cm top to tail. Two (but not a pair) of these rare sample books of elegant (yubi translates as elegant) uchiwa - non folding fans - used for advertising; messages were on the back. Now, pattern books of properly elegant fan designs have a long history and are a dime, well, a few thousand dollars, a dozen. It would be hard to get together a dozen of these crass commercial sample books, for much the same reasons as their sister hikifuda books: any that did survive are usually dismembered and sold page by page.The accompanying fans do not actually appear in either book but that is a matter of variation on a theme. The family likeness is unmistakable. As is the likeness to hikifuda (large handbills or small posters) of the period: the artwork, printing and colours come from the same people. The designs range from revolting to most smart. Luckily few are truly revolting. *This item might cost more to post than quoted by abe.…
