Part of a very impressive series, in the quality of production, scholarship, and magnitude, this volume contains exhaustive analysis of 44 works in stained glass kept in 6 collections in upstate New York. The Corning Glass Museum contains the largest number described here. The entry, some of them quite lengthy, for each work details its provenance, condition, inscriptions, heraldry, costume, and technical description of the color and technique employed. The works are reproduced in b&w and color plates of the best quality, many of them full-page (the volume is in an oversized format, 9.5x12.5"). In addition, a chapter is included describing the history and circumstances that led to the collection of stained glass in colonial times in the area, with a number of historic photos. Lillich (art history, Syracuse U., NY) is a leading expert in stained glass. Distributed in the US by the David Brown Book Company. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
