Stained Glass Window

ca. 1905

Not on view

This window is one of a larger series designed by Philadelphia architect William Price. Price and M. Hawley McLanahan co-founded the utopian Arts and Crafts community called Rose Valley in 1901, and Price is perhaps best known for his work there. Here, the narrative hunting scene draws upon medieval sources and is reminiscent of English book illustration from the turn of the century. Also significant is the use of variable widths of leading and the subtle arrangement of clear and textured glass punctuated with small colored glass "jewels". These windows were designed for the Van Camp house in Indianapolis, Indiana, where they remained until the house was destroyed in the mid-1960s.
