Charles Rennie Mackintosh signed his flower studies for himself and for Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh, his wife and creative partner, who was with him when he drew them. He made these on holidays — at Walberswick, at Bowling on the Clyde — always noting the plant, the place and the year, like a botanist keeping a record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey show a quieter side of the man best known for the Glasgow School of Art, the Willow Tearooms and the whole Glasgow Style. No grand architectural statement here, just extraordinary looking: precise, patient and full of feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 48 × 162mm with a navy ribbon marker, it lies flat in any book.
