"Glasgow: A Sketch Book" by John Nisbet is a collection of illustrated impressions and observations on the city of Glasgow, penned during the early 20th century. This work reflects a time of industrial growth and urban change, providing a visual and literary portrayal of the city's streets, landmarks, and architecture. Likely written in the early 1900s, the book encapsulates the atmosphere and environment of Glasgow through both text and sketches. The content focuses intricately on notable sites in Glasgow, illustrated by specific drawings of various locations including George Square, Buchanan Street, and the University. Nisbet's writing captures the essence of the city, blending descriptions of its architecture and the bustle of urban life. Each sketch serves as a visual companion to the anecdotes and reflections shared, painting a vivid picture of Glasgow at that time. The book not only documents the physical landscape but also conveys the spirit and cultural identity of the city, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in its history and development.
