SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Together with the National Library of Ireland, Architectural Press presents seventy previously unpublished drawings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The identification in the National Library of Ireland of three sketchbooks, from which these drawings have been selected, represents a significant addition to the body of early drawings by Mackintosh. The sketches date from a crucial period in the young man's development, spanning his highly successful student years and the beginnings of his professional career.
Text of Note
Each of the three sketchbooks covers an area central to his growth as an artist: the architecture of his native Scotland; an important scholarship journey in Italy; and Mackintosh's first love and greater influence, the study of plants and growing things."--Jacket.
