[55 p.]. 36 cm. Brown leather with gold cloth. Gilt trim. Illustrated from drawings and photos by Wright. Booklet of 14 p. sewn to front endpaper with illustrations from Wright's photos of dried weeds. Includes letter from Prairie School Press describing their work. In the winter of 1896-7 Frank Lloyd Wright and William Herman Winslow joined together to publish a limited edition of William C. Gannet's The House Beautiful. Wright had heard the essay in a sermon and was inspired and charmed by the text about the importance of simplicity and craftsmanship in the home. In their publication, Gannet's text was framed with Wright's intricate tapestry-like decorations, inspired by ironwork and Middle Eastern tapestries. This facsimile was published by W. R. and Marilyn Hasbrouck of Prairie School Press. Facsimile of the 1896-7 Auvergne Press edition of which only 90 copies were printed - this is copy "one".
