It includes material on making glass, commentaries on glass in situ, including a selection of out of print volumes from Corpus Vitrearum, monographs on individual makers and a small group of items which comprise original designs for glass. It is designed to appeal to those who have a general interest in the subject alongside those with specific interests in periods or individual artists. We would particularly draw your attention to Christopher Whall’s rare promotional booklet for his own firm which has original photographs of items he made,(no 31 ) and other trade catalogues, the massive colour illustrated portfolio Vorbildliche Glasmalereien aus dem späten Mittelalter und der Renaissancezeit which records glass in pre First World War Germany (no 99), the original heraldic designs recorded by F C Eden at Aveley Belhus. (no 187) and the substantial collection of original material from Hardman’s in Birmingham when the company was under the jurisdiction of Patrick Feeney and Donald Taunton. (no 188 ) [Cover design from the collection S268] We have not included Journals in the list but have a large stock of the major academic publication of the Society of Glass Painters and other journals and welcome any enquiries on this subject. Furthermore, there are many small pamphlets which provide valuable insights into the windows in churches all over Great Britain and beyond. If you seek information on the glass in a particular building please contact us.
