Synopsis
In Windows: History, Repair and Conservation, readers are guided through the history, dating, development, care, repair and conservation of windows by authors who are experts in their fields. Each chapter covers a different aspect of the subject, from the dating of windows and their separate parts, through to surveying and engineering, recording and curation of historic windows, their ironmonger and surrounds.As this book shows, windows vary in complexity and form, from the very simplest glazed openings to intricate medieval stained-glass masterpieces, combining the work of stone masons, smiths, woodworkers, glaziers and artists. This book traces the history of windows and provides guidance on their upkeep and conservation. It is thus an essential reference work for all those involved in care of historic buildings.Windows: History, Repair and Conservation was the first major book devoted to the understanding of windows. This new revised edition brings the book up to date and provides additional chapters to provide a complete overview of the subject that will inform research and practice for years to come.
