Tiffany Glass Coloring Book

An elegant new coloring book inspired by and celebrating the spectacular designs of Tiffany lamps at the New-York Historical Society. A new addition to the wildly successful coloring-book genre, the leaded, kaleidoscopic designs of the beloved 132 Tiffany Studios lamps and three windows in the Neustadt Collection at the New-York Historical Society lend themselves perfectly to the format of a coloring book. The new drawings by renowned British illustrator Jessica Palmer, sixty-five single-page and full-spread illustrations in all, are inspired by the magical natural world of Tiffany, depicting dragonflies dancing among peonies, wisteria vines drooping over ponds, and entwining tulip and poppy blossoms. At least one dragonfly—arguably the best known of all Tiffany motifs—is found in every drawing, sometimes tucked away in a corner, sometimes the centerpiece. These intricate drawings beg to be filled in with a riot of color and are sure to provide a meditative calming of the spirit that coloring-book aficionados seek.

Sixteen boldly outlined motifs based on actual Tiffany designs: landscapes, florals, birds, a ship, and other attractive images. Original designs in full color on covers.

Four of Louis Comfort Tiffany's finest stained glass windows. Such lovely artworks as a 10½ x 16½ rendition of wisteria and a spectacular 24 x 16½ simulation of Fawn Drinking at Stream.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (18481933) was the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, who founded the Tiffany and Co. jewelry store. Louis Comfort Tiffany began his artistic career as a painter. As a young man he headed an interior design firm, and then went on to found Tiffany Studios, where skilled artists and artisans created works under his direction. In his designs Tiffany incorporated landscapes, floral patterns, and other natural forms in a variety of rich colors. His craftsmanship, artistic innovation, and reverence for natural beauty made him one of the most influential designers of the past two centuries. His colorful creations are shown as small reproductions on the inside front and back covers. When you color these pictures, you might want to try to copy his colors, or you might decide to use your own. The last page of this book is blank so that you can draw and color your own picture. Let your creativity flow!
