This study focuses on the significance of the displays of stained glass at several international exhibitions held in Britain, France, the USA and Australia between 1851 and 1900. It provides new perspectives for the study of nineteenth-century stained glass, within these temporary secular exhibition contexts. -- .
Windows for the world focuses on 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.
The book recognises those who made and exhibited stained glass for display at the international exhibitions, and demonstrates the long-lasting impact of the classification and modes of displaying stained glass at these events. A number of stained glass 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.
Windows for the world will appeal to those interested in the history of stained glass as well as nineteenth-century history, art and architecture.
