Zusammenfassung:The window dedicated to the memory of Augusta Upcher in the Parish Church of All Saints in Upper Sheringham, Norfolk, is the only document-ed example of stained glass, anywhere in the world, incorporating Jean Ferdinand Joubert de la Ferté’s photo-mechanical transfer method. Pa-tented in Britain in 1860, Joubert’s ‘burnt-in photographs’ were adver-tised as an inexpensive yet durable alternative to traditionally painted stained glass windows. Despite the involvement of two prominent London firms and considerable excitement amongst members of the artistic elite, the invention did not live up to commercial expectations. This feature explores Joubert’s photo-mechanical process, identifies further surviving examples and sheds light upon why the technique failed to flourish in the production of stained glass in Victorian Britain.
