Apothecaries' Hall, home of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London, contains a large collection of armorial bearings in various media, but most particularly in stained glass. This comprehensive book describes the derivation and display of the Society' s Arms, the Royal connections which also provide a source of heraldic decoration, and the large collection of glass panels relating to the coats of Arms of many of the Past Masters and Honorary Freemen. A comprehensive survey of all the heraldry and of the artists involved is included. For twenty years a tenant at the Hall was the renowned stained glass artist Carl Edwards. Heraldry and Stained Glass at Apothecaries' Hall gives a glimpse of the working of a glass studio and is also a reference source for the glass produced by Edwards at the Hall. Although Apothecaries' Hall is well-known to some members of the medical, dental and pharmaceutical professions, this beautifully illustrated publication brings all the information about heraldry and glass associated with the Society to a wider audience.
The authors are uniquely qualified to lead us through this compelling story. WILLIAM SHAND is a Past Master of the Society, and an accomplished practitioner in the art of making stained glass. As Clerk of the Society ANDREW WALLINGTON-SMITH was closely involved in the care of all the artefacts in the Hall. Both authors have a deep interest and expertise in heraldry. Together they have assembled a definitive guide to these important treasures.
