Featured in three stunning color combinations, the artwork is hand-drawn, hand-carved in linoleum, and hand-colored using oil-based inks and a brayer. The colored block is hand-pulled on a press, using archival, acid-free paper.

Each print is numbered and signed, and each is slightly different and considered an original. Three colors are available.

Save Unity Temple

Of the more than 1,100 buildings that Frank Lloyd Wright designed and the 500 that were built, Wright singled out Unity Temple as his "contribution to modern architecture." Unity Temple was Wright's first public commission and his first sacred space, and is the last-surviving public building from his legendary Prairie period.

In July 2011, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced that it would propose Unity Temple and ten other Frank Lloyd Wright buildings for nomination to UNESCO's World Heritage List.
