Abstract
I NOTICED to-day a curious effect in the east windows of Old Upton Church which may interest artists among your readers, and of which I should be glad to see any explanation. The pattern is in small regular pieces in which a strong red is prevalent, especially in the ribbon round the edge. Green is perhaps the least represented in area. At all events, generally, red largely prevails over green. The latter is not over brilliant. At a distance of ten feet the general effect is red. At that distance I see the pattern sharply, and green is not at all obtrusive. At the length of the church, say fifty feet off, I cannot distinguish the pattern, and the whole window looks a thin watery green haze; the bright red margin is inappreciable.
