'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: Charles Rennie Mackintosh Author: Andy MacMillan and Yukio Futagawa Publisher: Global Architecture / ADA Edita Tokyo Co. Ltd Date: 1979 Condition: In very good condition overall, there is a small strip of sunning along the spine edge of the front cover, but otherwise very clean, tidy and complete. Illustrated in black and white throughout. Text in English and Japanese
This issue of Global Architecture magazine focussed on Mackintosh's work at The Glasgow School of Art, now sadly destroyed after two major fires.
The large format allows for the photographs to really work their magic - they are very atmospheric and reflect a wish to make them about the place rather than just recording the architectural details. This issue also includes reproductions of Mackintosh's scale drawings and elevations for the buildings.
