Tiffany at Lafayette

Tiffany at Lafayette

At the turn of the last century, two superb art glass windows were commissioned for Lafayette College from Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in New York City—Alcuin and Charlemagne (1898) for Pardee Hall and The Death of Sir Philip Sidney (1899) for Van Wickle Memorial Library (now Van Wickle Hall). These two windows are now installed in Skillman Library.

This lavishly illustrated catalog celebrates the magnificent Tiffany legacy at the College with essays by Tiffany scholars Elizabeth De Rosa, Lindsy R. Parrott, and Jennifer Perry Thalheimer, and a description of the restoration of the two windows by Richard Prigg.
