xiv, 250 pages, 40 unnumbered pages of color plates : illustrations ; 25 cm.
This book explores the display and reception of nineteenth-century 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. It recognizes those who made and exhibited stained glass and demonstrates the long-lasting impact of the classification and modes of display at these events. A number of exhibits are illustrated in color and are analyzed in relation to stylistic developments, techniques and material innovations, as well as the broader iconographies of nationalism and imperialism in the nineteenth century.
