Tiffany/Duncan comment: Tiffany 1897 (p. 83) quotes an extract from a letter by Mrs. Journeay saying the window is beautiful [TIFF1897]
Comment: The top of the window has been reduced from what it was in 1895 and Church of the Holy City dates the window to 1917, which is consistent with the form of the signature, so possibly the window was reduced in size by Tiffany Studios around then [EAGLE1895B, NYH1895, ORG, DEDUCED]
