Context (Amendments / updates)
Whilst the note on the back of the frame notes the date September 1921 it is noted in Mackintosh's catalogue that he purchased these in 1920. It is possible that the later date is when they were framed together or when they arrived in England but at present the meaning behind the two dates is unclear.
