Description: | RH inscr. in pencil t.r. "17" [not by Mackintosh]; inscr. in pencil b.r. "The Manor House/ Abbotsbury" CRE MACKINTOSH, Charles Rennie; (Scottish; 1868-1928) This is a drawing of the manor house in the delightful and picturesque village of Abbotsbury. The reproduction in 'The British Architect' of 29 November 1895 did not include the detail of the chimney cope. The drawing is a loose sheet from a dismembered, sketchbook of buildings in Hampshire, Dorset and Somerset which Mackintosh visited in 1895. Mackintosh was captivated with Abbotsbury, commenting that, "all the beauties of the place are arrayed in front of you in such a way as to raise in any architectural enthusiast burning desires of ambition and endeavour." He made many studies here, particularly of St. Nicholas Church and St Catherine's. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ABBOTSBURY : MANOR HOUSE : SKETCH : ARCHITECTURAL SKETCH : CRM ONLINE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
