The Glasgow School was a circle of influential modern artists and designers who began to coalesce in Glasgow, Scotland in the 1870s, and flourished from the 1890s to sometime around 1910. Wylie and Lochhead’s output in the Glasgow Style, which was showcased at the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition was designed by three young craftsmen – Ernest Archibald Taylor (1874–1951), John Ednie (1876–1934) and George Logan (1866–1939).
