About MePhotocopy of the lines plan for a 1905 Fifie boat by the name of "True Vine" (ML20), probably a reference for one of Ian Hamilton Finlay's maritime projects in the 1990s. (For example, in 1997 he produced a linocut entitled "True Vine" with Gary Hincks.)This photocopied lines plan is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend of the donor.
