	From about 1777, Sarah Stone (ca 1760-1844) was employed by the entrepreneur Sir Ashton Lever to record the contents of his private museum - specimens being brought back by British expeditions (including Cook's voyages) to Australia, the Americas, Africa and the Far East in the 1780s and 1790s. Her meticulous watercolours of flora and fauna are now in the Natural History Museum, London. This volume presents reproductions of 59 examples, along with essays on Sarah Stone, Lever and his museum, and other artists represented there.

	St Mary's Church in Fairford, Gloucestershire, is home to one of Europe's finest surviving sets of medieval stained glass windows: installed in the early 16th century, they depict scenes ranging from the Creation to the Last Judgement. Painstaking conservation work has recently revealed again their remarkable detail and craftsmanship, and this book discusses both the windows' design and the story of their survival and repair. The text is complemented with photographs of all 28 windows and the church's other architectural features.
