Announcing the third and final volume in the series of three "electronic books" from glass authors, Glen and Stephen Thistlewood
Sowerby's Ellison Glass Works: Volume Three - A Celebration of SowerbyThe final volume in this unique trilogy not only contains what is, to our knowledge, a full digital reproduction of Sowerby's Illustrated Pattern Book No. XI – 1885 but it also features a superb photographic compendium of Sowerby’s glass.
CONTENTS INCLUDESowerby's Illustrated Pattern Book No. XI - 1885 Comprising over 1700 items on 107 pages, this catalogue provides a truly amazing document that records the extraordinarily vast range of Sowerby's glass production during the period from 1885 to 1887. It further offers a fascinating insight into what they were offering to their British and overseas customers at that time.
Photographic Compendium of Sowerby’s Glass An encyclopaedic presentation of Sowerby's Glass with a visual feast of 250 colour photographs and explanatory text, featuring over a century of the Ellison Glass Works' production.

Each photo is presented with its pattern/catalogue number (where known).
