Title: Glass. History, Manufacture and Its Universal Application (Published by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, Pittsburgh)
Author: Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company
Description: Introduction. "This book endeavors to give an account of glass-making from the crude furnaces of early times to the mammoth plants of today, and to indicate how much more widespread the use of this world-material inevitably must become in the near future..." Two photographs of the Frank Lloyd Wright Dana House. Entrance: "Leaded Glass Curtain Designs. In this illustration is shown an effective set of leaded glass curtain designs, composed of clear glass with delicately-tinted and iridescent color blocks. These windows have become extremely popular; dispensing altogether with lace curtains, the glass is carried out in colors to harmonize with the draperies and the general color scheme of the room. In the middle foreground may be seen two leaded glass lanterns in keeping with the window designs." (P.142). Fernery Doors: "An example of curtain design using clear or semi-obscure glass in delicate tints, to harmonize with the draperies." (P.144). (First Edition.)

Title: A Thousand Years of Stained Glass (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Doubleday & Company, Inc. Garden City, New York)
Author: Brisac, Catherine
Description: Dust jacket: "For centuries, the unearthly beauty of stained glass has graced the chapels and cathedrals of Europe. From its origins in antiquity - through the Gothic and Romanesque periods - and on into the twentieth century, the delicate balance of light, form, and color that is stained glass has given radiant testimony to the artist's ability to both inspire us and renew our spirits; its kaleidoscopic richness and beauty have made places like Chartres, Notre-Dame, and Sainte-Chapelle legendary. Now, in one of the most extraordinary art book of this or any year, the spectacle of these masterpieces of light and color has finally been captured... In addition, the works of more contemporary artist such as Rouault, Chagall, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Frank L:loyd Wright serves to show the scope of 6this eternal medium..."

Title: The Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Window Collection: Oakbrook-Esser Studios (Published by Oakbrook-Esser Studios, Oconomowoc, Wisc.)
Author:
Description: “Presenting The Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Window Collection. Frank Lloyd Wright was the first to present America with an original, indigenous architecture based on the principles of Nature. Few have approached his genius for translating the simple forms of Nature into design for the human scale. His windows, like the structures that contained them, were both decorative - and functional - providing ornamental shading, color and pattern without impeding natural light. The art glass windows of Frank Lloyd Wright demonstrate one remarkable man's unique interpretation of the world around us.
Through the gracious consent of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, at Taliesen West in Scottsdale, Arizona, the archives of Frank Oakbrook-Esser Studios Lloyd Wright have been opened to four special manufacturers - all renowned for quality and craftsmanship - to once more produce his decorative designs. As one of these four licensees, Oakbrook-Esser Studios is pleased to present The Frank Lloyd Wright Art Glass Window Collection.
The windows of this collection were chosen, after months of painstaking research, for their wide representation of function and design.
Several suggestions for design applications are pictured in this brochure. The possibilities though are endless. However you choose to employ them, we are sure they will provide you with pleasure for many years to come.”
Windows include: The Coolney Triptych; The Coonley Clerestory; The Robie House; Midway Gardens; Lake Geneva Inn. Catalog: 9 x 6, Intro Card: 4.5 x 15, folds to 4.5 x 7; Price list:

Title: Frank Lloyd Wright, Designs For Glass. A Journal (Published by Ponegranate Communications, Inc., Petaluma, CA)
Author: Anonymous
Description: “In the course of a career that lasted into seven decades, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) discarded received wisdom, tweaked the sacred cows of his profession, and experimented playfully with concepts and materials. His genius for architectural synthesis transformed his field; a hundred years after his earliest solo commissions, Wright's designs have become completely entwined in the vocabulary of American architecture.
Wright's passion went beyond that of pure architecture and ventured into textile and ornamental design for the buildings he brought to life. The inspirational architect loved to work in glass...”
Each page includes a four color illustration adapted from art glass designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Adaptations include, Waterlilies (Project 1899), Two Dana House (1902) and Bradley House (1900). Also available, a leather slip cover with embossed design.

Title: Light Screens, The Complete Leaded-Glass Windows of Frank Lloyd Wright (Hard Cover DJ and Slip Case) (Published by Rizzoli International Publications, Inc., New York)
Author: Sloan, Julie L.
Description: "Visionary and prolific, Frank Lloyd Wright conceived leaded-glass windows for almost every one of his buildings between 1885 and 1923, his most celebrated years. His output was prodigious: an estimated 4,365 window designs for over 160 structures, more than 100 of which were realized. Here, Julie L. Sloan presents the largest gathering of these windows ever published. In this accessibly written, impressively researched volume, Sloan shows how Wright revolutionized a centuries-old art form. With the boldly abstract glass he called "light screens," he distanced himself from Louis Comfort Tiffany and John La Farge and invented a fully modern language of design. Wright's windows were integral to his architectural conceptions, as Sloan demonstrates with a wealth of illustrations-- including rarely seen drawings and on-site photographs made especially for this book. In recreating the master's integration of his windows into his structures, the author brings to life such lavish landmarks as the Susan Lawrence Dana house, the Darwin D. Martin complex, and Hollyhock House, while she traces three phases in Wright's evolving language of geometric patterns..." (Dust Jacket) Original list price $175.00. (First Edition)

Author: Sloan, Julie L.
Description: With inexhaustible creativity, Frank Lloyd Wright designed an estimated 4,365 windows for over 160 of his buildings. With this boldly abstract glass, he distanced himself from his contemporaries Louis Comfort Tiffany and John La Farge and invented a fully modern language for ornamental design. Sloan identifies three phases in Wright's evolution toward this exciting idiom. For his earliest windows, of 1885-1898, the master conceived curvilinear Queen Anne-style motifs. In his famed Prairie-period homes of 1900-1910, he placed lambent glass of autumnal palette and complex patterns of chevrons and rectangles. Finally, vanguard European art and architecture helped inspire his most joyous and inventive light screens. (Publisher’s description.) (First Edition)

Author: Editor: Jackson-Forsberg, Eric; Text: Lownie, Theodore; McCarter, Robert; Quinan, Jack; Introduction: Sloan, Julie
Description: "When Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Darwin D. Martin House complex (1903-1905), he filled the windows, doors, skylights, and laylights with nearly four hundred pieces of his signature art glass. The spectacular designs, abstractions of the architecture and surrounding environment, are among some of Wright's finest. These "light screens," as Wright called them, were fundamental to his principle of "bringing the outside in" by blurring the line between enclosed and open spaces. Despite the site-specific nature of Wright's art glass, nearly three-quarters of the pieces at the Martin House complex have been removed – many of them distributed to museums and private collections throughout the world. Today, due to the tremendous reconstruction efforts by the Martin House Restoration Corporation, the art glass designs are being restored to their original home. Only now, in their original context, is it possible to fully appreciate the importance of these "light screens" to Wright's overall composition for the Martin House complex..." (Dust jacket.)
