This is one of the original drawings, both now lost, of “the two censing angels
designed in 1861 for [stained glass] tracery circles at Selsey, and later repeated at
Lyndhurst and at St. James's, Brighouse” (Sewter, 67). See the
working cartoon
copy, as well as the
stained glass at Selsey. Its counterpart,
Censing Angel [1] and its
working
cartoon
are also worth noting.
