Scope and Content Library, Glasgow School of Art, No 167 Renfrew Street, Glasgow This view of the library of Glasgow School of Art, a black and white photograph taken in 1910 by the photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere, was one of the first three proper photographic studies of the interior of the School to be published in 1929. The library, of double height with a gallery, has a layout determined by a series of timber posts which rise to meet the beams supporting the gallery. The fittings for 13 lamps in the centre suggest a group of suspended miniature skyscrapers. The architect of the Glasgow School of Art, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, utilised many new technologies of the time, including electric light, and carefully integrated artificial lighting into his distinctive decorative style in the design of the School.
