Tiffany Rose Window set in the wall of the Episcopal Church in Riverton, New Jersey.
The most valuable and historically significant window is the ‘rose’
window located in the west wall. It is an interesting example, of l9th
Victorian glass, known to be the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany. It
portrays the faces of children of many hues, "all the children of the
world," surrounding a heavenly cross, crafted out of favril glass. It
is further surrounded by eight roundels composed of holly and
sheaves of wheat, possibly symbolizing our birth in Christ. Holly and
wheat were typically known as pagan symbols, but are now used to
represent The Incarnation and The Nativity. The window was presented
in 1884 in memory of Mr. Louis A. Godey, publisher of
Godey's Ladies Book, by his children, Mrs. Roland Seegar and Mr.
Harry Godey

Linda is an author (L.C.Bennett Stern), blogger and backyard birder, who loves living in a small town on the East Coast of the United States. She prefers taking photos of subjects in nature and architecture ... with a smile, she adds: people are so unruly. Please feel free to manipulate my photos (to the extent possible) to suit the items you wish to order, including changing the background color on many items. (Note: Some images cannot be resized to appear correctly on Mugs, even with resizing...check carefully before ordering, to avoid disappointment.) I welcome you to stop by frequently to see updates to my portfolio.
