A E Lemmon
St Barnabus, cartoon for stained glass design, by A E Lemon

About the Item

A E Lemmon St Barnabus Cartoon for stained glass window 111 x 33 cm Albert Edward Lemmon (1889-1963) was a British artist and craftsman renowned for his contributions to stained glass and ecclesiastical art in the Midlands. Between 1903 and 1909, Lemmon trained at the Birmingham School of Art, before becoming an assistant to A. J. Davies in 1911 in the stained glass studio at the Bromsgrove Guild, a prominent collective of artists and designers. In 1927, Lemmon established his own studio, where he would go on to design over sixty stained glass windows, countless 'leaded lights' and a wide variety of ecclesiastical and decorative items until his death in 1963. Further details about the life and work of A E Lemmon are available in 'A E Lemmon (1889-1963), Artist and Craftsman' by Roy Albutt. As part of the stained glass making process, artists produce a full-sized drawing of their window design, showing the exact size and shape of all the pieces of glass, their colour and the sizes of the lead. This depiction of St Barnabus was produced for a stained glass window to be hung in Birmingham Children's Hospital. The window itself was later destroyed in the Second World War, leaving this cartoon as a unique, one-of-a-kind historical vestige.
