Schumacher's Taliesin line of decorative Fabrics and Wallpapers
WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd. Schumacher's Taliesin line of decorative Fabrics and Wallpapers. Text, 13 large fabric swatches, along with 125 small samples and 26 sheets of wallpaper designed by Wright. Large folio, 557 x 430 mm., bound in publisher's illustrated tan cloth. [New York: F. Schumacher Co., n.d. 1955].
An extremely scarce salesman's sample book for a line of wallpapers and fabrics designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In addition to the 26 original sheets of wallpaper designed by Wright, there are 6 pages of photographic plates illustrating rooms with the products in use, demonstrating Wright's ideal of the close relationship between architecture and decorative design. This is an extremely rare book presumably issued in a small edition, and with most copies having been dismembered for the original wallpaper samples. We could not find a record of a copy having been on the market, and it is not to be confused with the same title published in 1955 in a smaller format and with fewer original samples. There is some minor inoffensive marginal waterstaining. No copy in OCLC.
