Title:
Harper’s
Magazine - January 1880 (Published monthly by Harper & Brothers, New
York)
Author:
Keats, John
Description:
"The Eve of St. Agnes."
First published in 1820 and rejected by the critics. It is the first
article published in this issue. Keats based his poem on the tale that a
girl could see her future husband in a dream if she performed certain
rituals on the eve of St. Agnes. Includes nine illustrations. Eighth
illustration: "Pensive awhile she dreams awake." (Note: No
where in this issue does Harper's credit the authors or illustrators for
any of the article printed.) This is the poem that Winslow and
Williams, two of Wright’s clients chose to publish for their first
volume at Auvergne Press in
1896. Wright designed the title page and Printer’s Device for
the book. Original cover price $4 per year (33c per issue).

Description:
After Hours.
American Landscape III.
The
mention of a cheap material like concrete block in the same
breath with the architect Frank Lloyd Wright would have
surprised no one who heard him, at Cooper Union in New York a
few months ago, predict that before long you will be able to
build your own house, using concrete block without mortar, for
between $1,500 and $3,500. Such a house, Mr. Wright told a
Midwestern reporter, "has been on drafting boards at Taliesin
since 1921. Now seems to be the propitious time for it."
But if the same connection seemed to you tenuous in last month's
notes on Motel and Cinder Block Culture, you would have been as
surprised as I was to discover that one of Mr. Wright's recent
designs, a private house near East Lansing, Michigan, is
constructed of this crass commercial product. The owner, a
college professor, was to have been a member of a multiple
Wright development which was never undertaken, a result of the
difficulty of obtaining financing for a "modern" project. The
professor went ahead on his own, meaning-as the academic calling
is still sparely rewarded-that the house had to be inexpensive.
He and his wife were delighted to discover that Mr. Wright, once
the financial limitations had been explained, adapted himself
congenially to a budget so low that most architects would have
dropped the client forthwith...
A note
on the author. Harper’s Magazine was first published in June
1850 by four brothers, James, John, Joseph and Fletcher Harper.
"Mr. Harper" was a long-running pseudonym used for a
back-of-the-book column in Harper's Magazine called "After
Hours." While the byline always belonged to Mr. Harper, the
column was actually written by various staff members or
contributing editors over the years.
