Synopsis

Dust jacket notes: "Windows were the major emphasis of Louis Comfort Tiffany's work. So totally was he the master of this medium, his windows surpassed, in both quality and quantity, any that had preceded them. Yet today most Tiffany windows have never been seen by the public, and until now, no book on the subject has ever been published. Alastair Duncan has tracked down virtually every window still extant, has documented examples that have disappeared or been destroyed, and has provided magnificent photographs, the great majority of them taken specially for this book. Tiffany Windows provides not only superb photographs of over 200 windows -- more than half in breathtaking color -- but a comprehensive text that examines how the glass was made and the windows constructed; Tiffany's designers and the workings of the Window Department; his critics and international exhibitions; window themes; signatures; chronology; and a complete list of all known Tiffany windows. For the Tiffany enthusiast or collector, this book is definitive and indispensable; for anyone who has ever gasped at the beauty of a Tiffany floral or landscape window, the book is a treasure."
