In this image, we see renowned glass engraver John Hutton meticulously working on a panel of glass for the West Screen. The screen itself is an awe-inspiring creation that took over a decade to complete, adorned with 66 exquisitely engraved figures of saints and angels. The photograph transports us to the construction site of the cathedral, where Hutton's craftsmanship shines through as he delicately etches intricate details onto the glass surface. Surrounded by fellow craftsmen and artists, this snapshot immortalizes a pivotal stage in the creation of one of Coventry's most treasured architectural wonders. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Hutton's exceptional talent but also his unwavering commitment to his craft. This photo serves as a testament to the immense effort required to bring such grand visions into reality. Through its lens, Historic England Archive allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating stained-glass masterpieces like these and the collaborative spirit that brings them to life.
