20 Quatrefoil Stained Glass Cards

With rich colours and elegant tracery, handsome cards showcasing a variety of quatrefoil and other stained glass motifs. Reproducing 19th-century designs for stained glass windows by Wailes of Newcastle upon Tyne and Chance Brothers of Birmingham; both leading British glassmakers specialising in glass for churches and Gothic Revival architecture. Collected in an album celebrating the ‘choicest specimens produced by every nation at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry', 1851-53, by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt (1820-77). The four ‘leaves’ of the Quatrefoil shape are traditionally interpreted as symbolising the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and emerged as a popular tracery motif in the medieval period.
