Description: | William Wailes (1808-1881) owned a successful stained-glass business in Newcastle. He is shown making designs at his desk, beside what is presumably an example of his own work. His firm made stained glass for churches all over the country, including Ely Cathedral. His success allowed him to build Saltwell Towers, Gateshead in 1862. The artist John Oliphant was a portrait painter in Newcastle for a short time in the 1840s. His relative Francis Wilson Oliphant worked as a designer at William Wailes' stained-glass business. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists oil paintings craft art designers North East artists made in the North East men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
