Henry Holiday:
His Stained-Glass Windows for Gilded-Age New York

Client: Lund Humphries, 2023
Author: George B. Bryant
Hardback | 328pp | 270 x 249 mm

This is the first book-length study on Henry Holiday (1839–1927) in more than a century. Holiday was a polymath who counted figures such as Lewis Carroll, William Morris, Edward Byrne-Jones and Emmeline Pankhurst as his friends. He was unquestionably one of the greatest stained-glass artists of the Victorian-Edwardian period, yet his achievements have not received the recognition that they deserve.

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.
