This design drawing sketches a plan for redecorating a church chancel, the part of the building around the altar that often received the most elaborate treatment. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, parishes commissioned designs like this to coordinate painted walls, glass, and furnishings into a single scheme. Stained glass studios typically produced such drawings, often as full-scale cartoons, before any glass was cut. Drawings like this show how a designer planned color, pattern, and symbolism for a sacred space, and they are useful records of how congregations imagined their worship spaces.
