About this book

A Treatise on the Art of Glass Painting by Ernest R. Suffling, 1902. The glass painter's manual — back in print.

Glass painting — the craft behind stained glass windows, painted glass panels, and the reverse-glass work sign painters know — gets its full Victorian treatment here. Suffling covers the materials, the firing, the leading, and the decorative techniques of the glass painter's art in 202 pages of thorough instruction.

For the sign painter who works in reverse glass and the stained-glass craftsman alike, this 1902 treatise is the period foundation text — the chemistry and the craft together, from an era when every town had its glass painter. An essential shelf book for the glass trades, and a beautiful window into the Victorian decorative arts.

The Victorian glass painter's handbook, reproduced complete.

Details: PDF digital download, 202 pages.

?? Please read before ordering — about print quality

This is a digital edition scanned from a historical document. The pages were scanned from an original 1902 printing, and the quality of your download reflects the condition of that original scan.

What that means in plain terms: you may see faded text, uneven inking, age spots, show-through from the back of pages, and other imperfections that were in the 1902 original or introduced by the scanning process. These are preserved as-is — they are not printing defects, and they are not something we can fix.

We are not responsible for the condition of the original source material. If you want a pristine modern typeset book, this isn't it. If you want the actual 1902 manual with all its character intact, you're in the right place.
