By L ( Elizabeth ) Lawes, on 12 May 2008
Produced by Glasgow School of Art, this interactive reproduction of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Northern Italian Sketchbook explores Northern Italy through the eyes of the Scottish architect (1868-1928) during his sketching tour of the Continent in 1891. Sketches from Mackintosh’s notebooks are compared with present-day photographs from the same locations, and his steps are retraced using interactive 19th century Baedeker maps.
