EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1905, showcases the artisans of J & W Guthrie & Andrew Wells, a renowned stained glass and mosaic studio located on West George Street in Glasgow, Scotland. The image presents a group of skilled workers, gathered around a table adorned with intricately designed stained glass panels and mosaics, as they meticulously craft their masterpieces. The studio, known for its Gothic revival style, was a significant player in the thriving arts and craft industry of the early 1900s. The workers, dressed in typical Edwardian attire, are engrossed in their tasks, with some carefully cutting and shaping glass pieces, while others meticulously arrange colorful tesserae for their mosaics. The atmosphere is filled with a palpable sense of creativity and dedication. The studio's offerings extended beyond stained glass and mosaics, as evidenced by the presence of carpets, furniture, and tapestry in the background. The workers' skill and artistry were celebrated through various awards and medals, some of which can be seen displayed on the wall. J & W Guthrie & Andrew Wells' creations graced houses and churches alike, adding a touch of elegance and beauty to the built environment of Glasgow. Their work continues to be admired for its intricate designs, masterful craftsmanship, and enduring quality, making this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the past of Scotland's rich artistic heritage.
