Description
Glass in Canada – The First One Hundred Years Book by Gerald Stevens Methuen Publishers first edition 1982 isbn-0458954306.
“Gerald Stevens, the historian, researcher and eminent authority on things Canadian, died in 1981. Behind him he left a legacy of published works documenting early artifacts from furniture to glass. But the task he set himself remained incomplete; a large and definitive study of Canadian glass was finished but not published. It was left to his students and f ri ends, Ralph Hedlin and Heidi Redekop, to collate and edit the manuscript, provide the photographs of the pieces he had identified and push the work forward to completion. […]. It is the culmination of Gerald Stevens ‘ long and illustrious career as the greatest authority on Canadian glass. It is also a mark of the devotion and respect he inspired in those around him. The author saw the book as an extensively illustrated, highly annotated, definitive gui de to all the types of glass that can be proven to be of Canadian origin. The 250 black and white photographs and 55 colour plates included here fulfill his vision.”
