Treasury of Traditional Stained Glass Designs B2510

"Treasury of Traditional Stained Glass Designs" by Ann V. Winterbotham. Stained glass windows have adorned spectacular churches, massive government buildings, and stately homes of the well-to-do for centuries. But during the Victorian era, stained glass was increasingly used as an integral part of the design of middleclass, single-family homes. This impressive volume is the largest collection of stained glass designs drawn from actual windows. All of the nearly 400 designs can be characterized as traditional and domestic; they are all copied from windows in ordinary houses. Religious or commercial designs are not included in this book. Nearly 400 traditional and domestic designs of popular stained glass windows, Victorian era to 1940s. A rich source book for graphic artists and designers and stained-glass craftspeople. 72 pages.
