Exhibited: Charles Rennie Mackintosh, 1868-1928 ; architecture, design and painting. A centenary exhibition arranged by the Scottish Arts Council in association with the Edinburgh Festival Society [and shown at the] Victoria and Albert Museum, 30 Oct.-29 Dec, 1968, no. 296, pp 61-62, (accompanied by a facsimile of the catalog entry)
Note: Andrew McLaren Young states in the exhibition catalog, "Exceptionally, Mackintosh has not dated this study. It is, however, in the style of his Walberswick flowers of 1914-15. Mackintosh's spelling was always idiosyncratic: his attempt at the Linnean name of the flower shows it no less unusual in Latin than in English."
Condition
hinged in, some handling smudges, creases at bottom corner, restoration at perforations at top and corners; frame with abrasions
