KEMPE
		CLICK IMAGE for LARGER VIEWS	A bit more news about KEMPE To the benefit of everyone, I have sent correspondence to the Kempe Society, and these 2 panels will be registered with them In fact, it is likely that original addresses/buildings/orders will be found through them. This part of the collection - that we have been discussing, is mostly un researched. Clearly, there is no question of Tiffany, or Kempe, as originators (!), I am only referring to the records that state: when a panel was ordered, at what price, and where it was installed. All this info is known for the William Morris/Burne Jones pieces, for example. In the last 20 years, apparently there has been a large movement to rebuild this information about Kempe. All new information to me. I just always admired his work, regardless of his 'popularity'. One response to a church in England that recently had a Kempe window appraised for insurance purposes was: Priceless. . LINKS ABOUT KEMPE

Several More recently photographed STAINED Pieces.
Panel Ca. 1860, Designer Sir Edwqard Burne-Jones, However the panel was made by Powell Studios, shortly before Burne-Jones began designing (almost) exclusively for and with his friend William Morris. Painting is much cruder than the later Morris Windows, but typical of the Powell pieces of the time.
A Soldier rests by his sword after battle. This window has not yet been researched. The studio is possibly John Hardman Studios or possibly Sanders and Company.
