List of works by Carl Almquist
A list of the known extant works of Carl Almquist (1848 – 1924), a Swedish-born stained-glass artist whose professional life was spent entirely in Britain. He was a pupil of Henry Holiday and became one of the two chief designers for the well-known Lancaster firm of Shrigley and Hunt. He was in large measure responsible for establishing their late Pre-Raphaelite or Aesthetic style. Though largely neglected by 20th-century art historians, Almquist has more recently been acclaimed as a genius, and as one of the leading late-Victorian stained-glass designers. Almquist designed many windows for locations in Scotland, Wales, the Home Counties, Yorkshire, and above all in the north-west of England, and there are scattered examples elsewhere. Works Because of the destruction by fire of most of the company's records in 1973 many Shrigley and Hunt windows can be attributed to individual designers only on stylistic grounds, if at all. Any list of Carl Almquist's works is therefore necessarily incomplete. However, unless otherwise stated, all of the following Shrigley and Hunt windows have been firmly attributed to Almquist as designer. Great Britain England Bedfordshire Bedford, St Paul's Church. First north aisle window, three lights (1884-1885). Subject: Fortitude, Faith and Charity. Edward Jenkins
