Description

Windows for the world explores the display and reception of nineteenth-century British stained glass in a secular exhibition context.

International in scope, the book focuses on the global development of stained glass in this period as showcased at, and influenced by, these exhibitions.

It recognises those who made and exhibited stained glass and demonstrates the long-lasting impact of the classification and modes of display at these events.

A number of exhibits are illustrated in colour and are analysed in relation to stylistic developments, techniques and material innovations, as well as the broader iconographies of nation and empire in the nineteenth century. -- .
