Summary

This collection of approx. 7 linear feet of papers documents the output of the independent printing press established at Taliesin in the 1930s.

The collection also includes every issue of the Taliesin Square Papers series dating from 1941 to 1953. All of the printed material in the collection features the distinctive graphic design associated with Frank Lloyd Wright.
