| Description | Letter from E[dward] Burne-Jones, Rottingdean, near Brighton to J H Dearle
Sends scheme for new window, another Nativity, with notes for the committee on the reasons for the subject chosen. Asks Dearle to fill up the tracery with blots of colour, preferably with foliage since it is unsuited for angels, and to make a fresh transcript if the original seems too "blotty". Has also started the "Tapestry design"
[The Nativity is probably the design for the Orkneys referred to in DD/235/23. Burne-Jones began a tapestry design, " The Passing of Venus", at Rottingdean in 1898; "Memorials", ii 331] |
