TIFFANY WINDOWS
by Alastair Duncan, Simon and Schuster, NY, 1980 First Edition.
Lavishly illustrated in color, this early out-of-print book provides and in-depth survey of Tiffany windows – Louis Comfort Tiffany’s masterworks.  "Windows were the major emphasis of Louis Comfort Tiffany's work.  So totally was he the master of this medium, his windows surpassed, in both quality and quantity, any that had preceded him.  Tiffany windows have newer been seen by the public, until now, no book on the subject has ever been published.  Alastair Duncan has tracked down virtually every window still extant, has documented examples that have disappeared or been destroyed, and has provided magnificent photographs, the great majority of them taken specially for this book."
With 230 illustrations, 114 in color, this book provides not only superb photographs, but a comprehensive text "that examines how the glass was made and the windows constructed; Tiffany's designers and the workings of the Window Department; his critics and international exhibitions; window themes; signature; chronology; and a complete list of all know Tiffany windows.  For the Tiffany enthusiast or collector, this book is definitive and indispensable; for anyone who has ever gasped at the beauty of a Tiffany floral or landscape window, the book is a treasure."
