John Ward Knowles (1838–1931) was a prominent British York-based stained-glass manufacturer, and commentator on local art and music. ==Family== Knowles may have been related to the civil engineer George Knowles (c. 1776-1856june23: will 1856aug13, () ref PROB 11/2237/206), who designed Scarborough’s spa promenade and South Cliff Gardens. His brother was William Knowles (1846nov3-1908sep7). () His son son John Alder Knowles (1881-1961)() continued the craft traditions but also moved with the times. He spent some time studying glass manufacturing methods in the USA before the First World War. Enthused by the work of Tiffany, he attempted an English version of the famous lamps, but charming though his prototypes were, they lacked the delicacy of the originals and failed to catch on. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Ward Knowles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
