More in Black and White

Here belatedly are two cartoons – nary a drop of color anywhere.

The first, St Anthony the Great is for one of his clerestory windows at Rosemont. The second St Radulf of Bourges is for a location unknown to me. While St Anthony has the usual emblems dashed about on the sketch, St Radulf (or Rodolphe or Raoul), as obscure a saint as I have ever come across, has nothing save his initial. It’s as lovely a stained glass cartoon as I have ever seen and I only wish I knew where the window was ( or even if it was ever executed). St Radulf, born ca 800 was archbishop of Bourges. He died in 866.
