The Story of St George and the Dragon

The legend of St George and the Dragon provided Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co with their first successful commissions as decorators. The firm's stained glass windows were particularly popular and they soon began producing secular designs for use in the home. This series of six windows shows the legend of St George and was designed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
