I made this photo scan from a book I bought from a library collection that was being discarded. The photos show the plates as they were reproduced in the book. So while the reproductions aren’t fantastic, they do capture the ideas Mr. Sullivan is presenting.
This book is one of the last projects he completed when he was broken down and discarded, out of fashion and left behind by the International Style. But his apprentice, Frank Lloyd Wright, went on to embrace and become the most well-known practitioner of the Prairie School and to give an alternative approach to modernist architecture in America, embracing craftsmanship over mass production.
