A collection of 39 glass slides from the early 20th century are on offer from Billy Hunt. They depict the designs of John Hardman, one of the pioneers of the stained-glass revival in the 19th century.
Hardman launched a Birmingham-based operation in 1838 as an ecclesiastical metal works. However, Augustus Pugin, the champion of the Gothic Revival, recommended that the business expand into glass manufacture in 1845 and designed for the firm until his death in 1852.
