Design for a printed textile
British, about 1920
Pencil and watercolour
Mackintosh left Glasgow in 1914. The architectural
commissions had dried up and his last building,
the Glasgow School of Art Library had received
almost no publicity. In 1916 he settled in London
and apart from a few commissions from enlightened
and tolerant patrons like J. W. Bassett-Lowke he
did little work apart from some textile designs
for the firms of Foxton's and Sefton's. These tend
to combine geometric patterns, bold stripes and
stylised floral motifs.
