1896 STAINED GLASS 1ed Victorian ART Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Color Collotypes



“Stained Glass as an Art” by Henry Holiday is an in-depth study of stained glass as a form of artistic expression, exploring its historical evolution, stylistic implications, and modern manifestations. The book emphasizes originality and individuality in the creation of stained glass, the relationship between style and ornamentation, and the intersection of form, space, and decorative art. It advocates for public education about the medium and warns against the pitfalls of mass-produced imitations. The book is complemented by 21 tinted plates alongside numerous black and white engravings, that include works by renowned artists Sir Edward Burne-Jones and W. B. Richmond, R.A., as well as the author himself.



Despite being compiled by an esteemed English Victorian artist and published by a major publisher in London and New York, the niche subject matter of the book led to a smaller print run. Consequently, today there are approximately 150 copies remaining in recorded existence. A highly rare and beautiful first edition work!
