Author: Pomegranate Comm, Inc.
Description: A book of 20 postcards. "Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867-1959) began to work on Beth Sholom late in 1953, after Rabbi Mortimer J. Cohen persuaded him to except the commission for the only synagogue he ever designed. The building was to be among the most important of the architect’s late career. The two men establish the fruitful working partnership, and Wright according to the rabbi a rare honor by identifying him as the co-author of the project. Together they created a remarkable "Mt. Sinai wrought in modern material." The synagogue, one of a small group of religious buildings Wright completed, is his only non-Christian house of worship. Beth Sholom was dedicated on September 20, 1959, just over five months after Wright’s death." Original list price $8.95. (First Edition)

Title: The Architect’s Vision: A Book of Postcards (Published by Pomegranate Communications, Inc., Petaluma, CA)
Author: Pomegranate Communications.
Description: First published in 2009. "A preliminary chat, a small scale model, an AutoCAD rendering-all can render the architect's vision, but a pencil drawing that sets the imagined building against sky and land and trees communicates scale and setting as no other medium can. Frank Lloyd Wright (American, 1867-1959) began his career as a draftsman in the office of Joseph Lyman Silsbee, then that of Louis Henri Sullivan-both architects produced magisterial drawings themselves, and Wright always employed skilled draftsmen in his own practice. Much influenced by German fin-de-siécle renderings and Japanese prints, the thirty drawings in this collection show us buildings that never got off the drafting table as well as masterpieces that have recently been lovingly restored to their original glory."
