Book Description:
|
The stained-glass windows at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Des Moines, Iowa, represent three eras of art glass production--19th-century pre-Tiffany Aesthetic style glass, 1950s Gothic Revival by the renowned Connick Associates of Boston, and 1970s neo-Gothic from Britain's Wippell Mowbray Studios. This book documents the history of the windows as artistic objects, exploring their historical and cultural contexts, and captures the stories of the donors and those whom they wished to honor.
