The Art & Craft of Stained Glass by E.W.Twining,Member of the British Society of Master Glass Painters,1928. Large format, 238 pages. ex.lib This book contains one contents page and frontispiece,which have been restuck using tape,but is otherwise a good solid copy.
Just THE most superb book we've had on stained glass work and it covers it's subject in huge detail with a host of illustrations and pictures.if there is a style bias it is towards Art Nouveau.It also has a number of large fold out plans with full details for building a glass painters easel and a glass workers kiln.Also fold out plan for the making of a full scale large pictorial church style window etc. I would imagine that the stained glass painter could train his or her self to a very advanced standard from this manual.
Some chapters headings:- Designing for Stained glass /The Sketch /Taking templates /The Cartoon /The Outline /Cutting the glass /Aciding out /Waxing up /Painting /Firing /Leading up,cementing & banding /Fixing etc.
