'Louis C. Tiffany and the Art of Devotion' is the first volume to
explore the vast assortment of church decorations and memorials
produced by Louis C. Tiffany (1848-1933) and the Tiffany Studios.
For over 50 years Tiffany oversaw the production and marketing of a
multitude of decorative elements for numerous chapels, churches and
synagogues, afforded by the late 19th century American boom in
religious building. Although an important part of the
ecclesiastical business consisted of the vibrantly coloured
leaded-glass windows most famously associated with his name,
Tiffany was interested in the bigger picture and employed
designers, draftsmen, and craftspeople to produce a complete
interior design, including mosaics, windows, floors,lighting,
furniture, altarpieces, pulpits, candlesticks, headstones and
mausolea, vestments and jewellery. This beautifully illustrated
volume includes preliminary designs, cartoons, watercolour sketches
and archival photographs designs and products, many never published
before. In numerous cases these are the only surviving remnants of
buildings which have long since been demolished.
