Part Seen, Part Imagined - Timothy Neat (1st edition HC) Canongate Press, 1994

First edition (print number not stated) oversized hardcover copy of Part Seen, Part Imagined: Meaning & Symbolism in the Work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh & Margaret Macdonald by Timothy Neat (Canongate Press, 1994). A rare book examining the art and symbolic meanings behind the works of Mackintosh, Mcdonald and “The Glasgow Four”.
