Day is an instructional work on the art and technique of stained and painted glass, written in the late 19th century. Aimed at individuals with varying knowledge levels—from complete novices to experienced artisans—the book explores the craftsmanship and design principles behind stained glass windows from the medieval period to the Renaissance. Day's dedication to the subject reflects his extensive experience working with stained glass, providing insights into its artistic and practical aspects. The opening of this work introduces the author's background and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of stained glass craftsmanship and design. Day emphasizes the importance of both workmanship and artistic expression, tracing the evolution of glass-making techniques from ancient times to the 17th century. He outlines the book's structure, which includes tracing craftsmanship and design, while also addressing stylistic considerations. The author draws parallels between stained glass and other art forms, such as poetry and jewelry, to highlight the significance of perspective in appreciating the medium, inviting readers to view stained glass not just as decorative pieces but as art that enrichens its environment.
