Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright was born June 8, 1867 and died on April 9, 1959. He is known as the most famous American architect, and one of the most well-known architects in the world. Fallingwater is his most well known work.

Fallingwater; southeastern Pennsylvania ... this would make a great puzzle!

However, the puzzle I worked (described in the previous post) was actually of one of his lesser known works. Wright was also a talented graphic artist with many works that I find stunningly beautiful. The Saguaro Glass design is an example ...

I could fill a lot more space with images and information ... here's a couple of links

Of course, I couldn't finish without mentioning and showing the postage stamp ...



In 1966, the United States Postal Service honored Wright
with a Prominent Americans series 2¢ postage stamp
