The author documents the development of this art form in the subcontinent, starting with the arrival of the 1820 Settlers, when it started to have a place in the developing of art heritage.
This book sets out to stimulate an appreciation of stained glass in South Africa and to record something of this segment of the country's evolution,as well as attempting to broaden interest in an art which is becoming increasingly popular as it develops an idiom of its own.
The advent of stained glass in South Africa is relatively recent. Its history and some of the notable stained glass artists are documented here. Colour photographs, 111pp.
