Lewis Foreman Day (1845–1910) was a pivotal figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, and an influential English designer specializing in textiles, wallpaper, stained glass, and other decorative arts. A prolific writer and critic, as well as a designer, Day's expertise extended to encompass a deep understanding of design principles and techniques, particularly within the realm of glass work. His treatise 'Windows: A Book About Stained & Painted Glass' stands as a seminal work in the field, offering comprehensive insight into the history, production, and artistry of stained and painted glass. This volume, alongside his other publications, solidifies Day's reputation for detailed scholarly discourse, paired with a profound appreciation for historical context and craft skill. Day's aesthetic ethos and his literary contributions made him a respected voice for craftsmanship and design integrity during a time of industrial expansion and often low-standard mass production. His writings often underlined the importance of quality and the continuation of traditional methods within modern manufacturing, advocating for balance between innovation and heritage. In addition to his written work, Day's legacy includes his designs for various churches and secular buildings, which serve as enduring examples of his commitment to beauty and functionality in the decorative arts.
