George Bryant is a historian, author and former architect based in Philadelphia. He is a recognised authority on Henry Holiday. His interest in Victorian architecture and art dates back to his student days at the Bartlett School at University College London. Since then, he has published articles in Architectural History, The Journal of Stained Glass, and the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s Common Bond. George has given presentations at national and international conferences and for the Society of Architectural Historians, the Victorian Society of New York, the New York Landmarks Conservancy and the Chestnut Hill Conservancy, as well as the American Glass Guild.
'Bryant’s detailed accounts of many of Holiday’s magnificent windows point to the artist’s colossal artistic achievement; they also point to the fragility of the medium. {...} Stained-glass windows are difficult to record accurately and the brilliance of Holiday’s colour palette shines through in these reproductions.' – Morna O’Neill, Apollo Magazine
