Brief description: Black and white photograph of a single light depicting St Luke. Designed at the Goddard and Gibbs studio, London
St. Luke was one of the four gospel-writers, and a disciple of St. Paul. Here, St. Luke stands facing the viewer, holding a book and a Rod of Asclepius, a traditional symbol of medicine. Asclepius was the Greek god of medicine, and the symbol combines his attributes, the snake and the staff. St. Luke carries one because he was a physician (doctor), and is also the patron saint of physicians. The background is made up of plain rectangular quarries. Window commissioned by H J Williams. On reverse - 1 - 86x26 111/2. £97.0.0. Ex works. Goddard and Gibbs job number 21/74818/B, LON 3168. Goddard & Gibbs, founded from a merger of Walter Gibbs & Sons and Goddard's Glass Works in 1938, were prominent makers of stained glass for the international market and also conserved and restored glass.
