FIRST EDITION. Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture was introduced to Europe in 1911 when Berlin publisher Ernst Wasmuth published Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwürfe von Frank Lloyd Wright. Wendingen was the first major publication devoted to Wright's work to follow the Wasmuth portfolio, and includes contributions by Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, Wijdeveld and other leading European architects, illustrating Wright's work from 1902 through 1923. Wendigen was the publication by the Amsterdam association of architects Architectura et Amicitia, and these seven numbers devoted to Wright include typesetting and design by Wijdeveld, who also edited the issues. RARE.

Please note that internally there is a slight touch of toning and some minor soft creasing to a few leaves. The binding has some light rubbing, and a few numbers have soft bends or creases.
