Description

Many of the windows depicted in this collection feature the jaggard angularity typical of art deco design. Others reflect the continuing influence of British art nouveau styles of the Edwardian period. These are often fused with 18th century ornamental styles also popular in late 19th and early 20th British decorative art design. In all the windows uncoloured glass, clear or textured, predominates, the pattern outlined by the leading.

Quantity: 19 colour original transparency/ies.
