Find of the Week (12)
It's been a while since I added a 'find of the week'. Due to restructuring at work and preparing to move house my time to blog has been limited. However, I did find this little gem the other day.

Hi Sam, I was searching Google for 'Dumbarton Cemetery' and your Art School photo caught my attention. I like it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will not consider it impertinent for me to ask your advice, considering your position of knowledge.
I'm doing a few posts regarding the gravestones designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, one of which is the headstone for Talwin Morris, and his wife Alice, in Dumbarton Cemetery. I believe the original plaque & inscription was replaced when Alice joined her husband in 1955.
My question is: Can you advise of any publications you may know of, that would possibly contain a pre-1955 photograph of the headstone, so that my conjecture can be verified or denied?
If this is of no interest to you, or you consider it an imposition, then please ignore my request.
Regards, Andy aka Sans.
Hi Andy,
ReplyDeleteI've had a look through all the material we hold on Mackintosh in the local history section here in Dumbarton library, but unfortunately we hold no information on the original inscription for Talwin Morris gravestone. The only description we have is the 1955 inscription -
'Talwin Morris March 29th 1911 Alice Morris Wife of the above December 24th 1955'.
I've also perused the Mackintosh books here in the library (of which we have a small collection) but there is only mention of him designing the headstone for Morris.
You could try to contact the following in hope that they might have earlier drawings or inscriptions:
Glasgow School of Art Archives
Glasgow University Library - special collections
Sorry I couldn't be of more help
Sam
