This collection of 122 drawings by Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1924) were given to Frank Lloyd Wright by Sullivan days before his death. Many of the drawings have been annotated by Wright. The bulk of these drawings date from 1883 to 1910, when Sullivan was a partner with Dankmar Adler in the architectural firm Adler and Sullivan. Avery Library purchased this collection in 1965 from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation with support from the Edgar Kaufmann Charitable Foundation.
Wright published 39 of the 122 drawings in this collection in the book Genius & Mobocracy (1949). The full collection was published in the 1979 Paul E. Sprague's The drawings of Louis Henry Sullivan: a catalog of the Frank Lloyd Wright Collection at the Avery Architectural Library (Princeton University Press). Sprague, an expert of Sullivan's ornament, dated, attributed and categorized the drawings. Sprague's work is the basis for Avery's description of the drawings.
