By Charles Rennie Mackintosh, 1895 Pencil and ink on paper 19 7/8in. x 313/4in. (49.8cm. x 80.6cm.) Signed and inscribed UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW/QUEEN MARGARET COLLEGE MEDICAL DEPART T/JOHN HONEYMAN/AND/KEPPIE ARCHITECTS and CHARLES.RENNIE.MACKINTOSH PROVENANCE Honeyman & Keppie, Glasgow SBT Keppie, Glasgow The Fine Art Society, London LITERATURE Thomas Howarth, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Modern Movement, London, 1977, p. 64, fig. 11 EXHIBITION Charles Rennie Mackintosh 1868-1928: Architecture, Design and Painting, Edinburgh Festival Society and Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1968, Cat. No. 111 Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow Museums Travelling Exhibition, 1996-97, pp. 129-130, Plate 84, Cat. No. 13 Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style, Travelling Exhibition in Japan, 15th September 2000 - 18th February 2001, p. 39, Cat. No. 7 NOTES Although this commission, for the first women's medical college in Scotland, was officially claimed by the firm of Honeyman & Keppie, it was almost entirely Mackintosh's work, as witnessed by this perspective drawing. Very little of the building now remains intact but it was one of three crucial Mackintosh designs executed before the Glasgow School of Art, 1896.
