EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustrated advertisement showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the William Morris & Company Ltd. in creating beautiful stained glass windows. Circa 1919, this advertisement features an image of Saint George, a legendary hero and patron saint of England, engaged in combat with a dragon. The caption below the illustration reads, "Fight the good fight of faith." The vibrant colors of the stained glass window are brilliantly captured in this print, with the deep reds and blues of Saint George's armor and the fiery oranges and yellows of the dragon's breath. The intricate details of the window's design are also on full display, from the delicate lines of Saint George's shield to the intricate patterns of the dragon's scales. The advertisement was published in the July 6, 1919 volume of the Rochester, Row, Westminster, London-based magazine, which was a popular publication at the time. The William Morris & Company Ltd. was renowned for its commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship and producing high-quality goods, and this advertisement is a testament to their dedication to creating beautiful and inspiring works of art. The company, founded by the influential designer and social activist William Morris in 1861, was known for its innovative designs and commitment to social and artistic reform. Morris believed that art should be accessible to everyone, and his company's stained glass windows were no exception. This advertisement invites viewers to imagine the beauty and inspiration that such a window could bring to their own homes and lives.
