Hello All: On the Stained Glass Sundial website at www.stainedglasssundials.com at the bottom of The Image Archive main page, we have now have posted two tables that show the Archive's current inventory count of glass sundials. One list shows how many sundial windows we have and is categorized by century and type (stained glass, etched glass, projection & glass mosaic). The other list shows the totals by country and type.
I find it most surprising that several countries that are famous for having a rich tradition in both stained glass windows and sundials, with copious numbers of each, don't have any stained glass sundials at all that we know of. Where are the stained glass sundials in France (we've only found one there). Why are there none in Belgium, Spain, Italy, Scotland, Holland, Switzerland, Austria? (we've found etched glass sundials in these countries, but no stained glass). In fact, the only countries in Europe that have them are England (51), Germany (20), France (1), and Poland (1). There are none in Asia, Africa or Australia. I would encourage members of the various international stained glass and sundial societies and associations to encourage other members of their groups to produce more stained glass sundials. thanks for hearing me out, John John L.
