Synopsis

Excerpt from A Stained Glass Tour in Italy Do you love a glowing sunset? Of course you do - and why? Is it not because the charm that reaches out to you from its mass of colour is shot through with light? That same charm, produced by the same blending of light with colour, lies imprisoned in windows of stained glass, and best in those which have come down to us from the Middle Ages, mellowed by the centuries through which their rich beauty has been preserved. If you will come with us to see the old windows of Italy we will take you up and down the land, and to most of the famous cities of that historical peninsula. You shall visit impregnable hill-towns, great cities built upon the plain, Venice, Queen of the Adriatic, and Rome, the Immortal.
