Although Charles Mackintosh is better know for his architectual work and furniture designer, he also created many watercolor works. This one, titled &#034;Mont Alba&#034;, is probably from 1924-27 when he spent time at Port Vendres in France near the Spanish border. The watercolor displays the reoccuring design theme of organic structure that can be found in his work.

This bookcase was designed as part of the furniture for the Hill House in Glasgow. It was commissioned by Katherine Cranston in 1904 for the drawing room. It is the only revolving bookcase of Charles Mackintosh&#039;s designs. The design is based on the organic principle that was part of Mackintosh&#039;s aesthetic. The varying size and extensions of the shelves are suppossed to resemble the boughs and branches of a tree, with the bottom of the bookcase beign the trunk and roots.
