An inquiry into the difference of style observable in ancient glass paintings, especially in England; with hints on glass painting ..
An 1867 Oxford and London study by Charles Winston, a glass-painting authority, examining stylistic differences in ancient English stained glass and offering practical hints for glass painters. The pictures are engraved line drawings of ornamental motifs: a pointed arch border with bead-and-ring bands, a bracket panel of foliage over a ring, a curved band with scalloped edge, and a quatrefoil set within a diamond frame. A designer could take from them the stylised, repeating bead and ring borders and the simple, flat geometry suited to windows.
