Louis Comfort Tiffany by Jacob Baal-Teshuva (2004)

As I mentioned in my previous post, I needed a visual companion to Clara and Mr. Tiffany. The introductory text is also in German and French, and illustrated with photos and examples of Tiffany creations. But the main part of of the book is a luxurious rendition of many of Tiffany windows, lamps and vases. Tiffany also oversaw the production of mosaics and smaller items, including jewelry, but these three main areas were of greatest interest to me. When anything was described in Clara's story, I would find it in this book and drool over it. My favorites were the dragonfly, peacock and wisteria lamps.  This book showed the things mentioned the best of all those we had in the library. I read the introductory text, getting some more details about Louis Comfort Tiffany's life, his relationship with his father Charles Lewis Tiffany, who was best known for his jewelry. Maybe I will buy a copy of this book for myself. The end of the book contains a catalog of where all these items are located. I will definitely have to put the Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, FL on my travel list.
