Fiesole Studio

 Series
Identifier: I

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists of two parts: Wright's Fiesole, Italy studio and copy prints of blueprints found in the manuscripts collection. The studio prints are arranged in various exterior, interior, courtyard and miscellaneous views. There were three draftsmen for the Wasmuth Portfolio (which was being produced at the time): Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd, Jr. and Taylor Woolley. This building was identified as being the studio where the renderings were transfered from office drawings to the Wasmuth format. The two women and man remain unidentified. These prints were made from nitrate negatives, and copy negatives were made from the prints.



The blueprint copies are an incomplete set of the microfilm located in the Woolley manuscript. Numbers 13-17 deal specifically with Wright's plans for the village of Bitter Root in Montana.
