48 ANCIENT PAINTED WINDOW, HAULT HUCKNALL CHURCH. 



was resorted to in order to represent them in their proper 

 colours, whether by "leading in" the various tints required, or 

 destroying by abrasion the surface of the coated or ' flashed ' 

 glass. In the more ordinary specimens, stained yellow and 

 white glass were often for convenience sake substituted for the 

 proper heraldic colours. This should always be borne in mind, 

 especially in the examination of shields of many quarterings. 



In so small a figure as this, revealing four quarterings on a 

 small tabard, the emblazonry cannot be absolutely relied upon. 



The two ladies in this panel are habited in gowns of a purplish 

 ruby tinge ; the head dresses are stained. The fenestrella of 

 the prayer-desks are stained, as well as the side columns of 

 the canopy. The background is white, with a diaper drawn 

 in the matting. 



The Hardwick arms in the second panel are fixed in a wreath 

 of leaves stained, and shaded with brown on a white giound. 



The figure of the ecclesiastic in the third panel has been 

 described. His girdle, as well as the side columns and back- 

 ground, is stained. 



In the fourth panel the architectural features are all yellow. 

 The background is a brownish white, with the diaper tricked 

 out in the ' mat.' The darker tones in the prayer-desks indicate 

 the stain. The heads and central portions of each figure are 

 executed on one piece of white glass, as may be seen by the lead 

 lines and stain applied to the hair, neckband, and trimmings. 



The removal of the high lights out of the ' mat ' on the gowns 

 of these figures is very sharp and crude, no attempt having been 

 made to soften down by stippling. A bit of an inscription 

 from another window appears in the margin on the right. 



The editor desires to record not only his gratitude to the 

 Rev. F. Brodhurst for his courtesy, shewn to him on his visit 

 to Hault Hucknall ; but also to the artist, Mr. G. E. Snell, for his 

 excellent service in the production of the fine photographs of 

 the window accompanying this paper.
