"Stained Glass Windows: An Essay: With a Report to the Vestry on Stained Glass…" by William Frederic Faber is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This book primarily focuses on the artistic and architectural significance of stained glass windows used in churches, particularly as viewed in the context of Grace Church in Lockport, New York. It engages in a detailed discourse on the aesthetic, historical, and spiritual roles that stained glass windows play in enhancing church architecture. The book details Faber's reflections and recommendations regarding the design and implementation of stained glass windows in Grace Church. He argues for a thoughtful and cohesive approach to adding these windows, emphasizing the importance of maintaining architectural integrity and historical context. The report suggests specific biblical figures and stories for the windows, advocating for a unified narrative that educates worshippers through visual art while honoring the church's design. Faber highlights the need for education in the appreciation and selection of stained glass, cautioning against impulsive decisions driven by trends or financial capabilities rather than artistic merit and spiritual worth.
