Henry Holiday
Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-84822-560-2 (ISBN)
Taking Holiday’s commissions for New York State churches as its focus, George Bryant’s ground-breaking study places the artist’s transatlantic accomplishments in the context of the social, artistic, religious and economic shifts that shaped his success in the US during America’s Gilded Age – a period where existing social hierarchies were challenged by new money and European immigration that ended with the outbreak of the First World War. Also providing a clear understanding of the technical and aesthetic differences that set Holiday's stained glass apart from that of his contemporaries such as Edward Burne-Jones, La Farge, and Tiffany, Bryant's truly original publication, based on substantial archival research, makes a significant contribution to our understanding of nineteenth-century stained-glass design and Henry Holiday's important achievements.
George Bryant is a historian, author and former architect based in Philadelphia. He is a recognised authority on Henry Holiday. His interest in Victorian architecture and art dates back to his student days at the Bartlett School at University College London. Since then, he has published articles in Architectural History, The Journal of Stained Glass, and the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s Common Bond. George has given presentations at national and international conferences and for the Society of Architectural Historians, the Victorian Society of New York, the New York Landmarks Conservancy and the Chestnut Hill Conservancy, as well as the American Glass Guild.
