Drake, Maurice, 1875-1923, Drake, Wilfred, 1879-1949 · 1912 · London · 13 pictures

Maurice and Wilfred Drake's 1912 London survey of English stained glass, written for antiquaries, glaziers and church restorers tracing the craft from medieval windows to sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Swiss panels. Colour plates reproduce leaded panels as flat shapes bounded by heavy black cames: heraldic shields with fleurs-de-lis and lions, reclining crowned kings on inscribed scrolls, and dated sample fragments of canopy tracery.
