Information

A page from the facsimile edition of Burne-Jones' Flower Book, one of 38 watercolour designs reproduced by Henri Piazza et Cie, for the Fine Art Society, London in 1905. Burne-Jones uses this composition for stained glass. The cartoon, called 'Heavenly Paradise', was executed circa 1882 for Morris & Co. (V & A). The window appears first in St. Margaret's Church (Hopten-on-Sea, Norfolk; top light, east window) and then again at the English Church in Berlin (center light, rose window), both executed in 1882.
