M. Napier Waller, Australian (1893-1972)
William Newton Guinness, first incumbent of Christ Church South Yarra (1856-1880), Christ Church South Yarra. Stained glass, 1961, Melbourne
Waller was neither unique nor original among stained glass artists in creating a romanticised image of the pioneer era for an Anglican church. An earlier and even more saccharine example is D. W. Dearle’s window in St Augustine’s Unley, South Australia (1948) showing a colonial chaplain delivering a sermon at Holdfast Bay in 1837.

William Klease, Australian
Mother Emma, Society of the Sacred Advent, St Augustine’s, Hamilton, Queensland. Stained glass, 1999, Brisbane
The window was created after a detailed study of photographs of the first sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent, an Anglican religious community founded in Brisbane in 1892. Mother Emma (d. 1939) was its second Mother Superior; the symbols in the tabernacling represent the mercantile interest of her family.

Unidentified Melbourne stained glass artists
Charles Perry, first bishop of Melbourne (1847-1876), St Paul’s Gisborne, Victoria. Stained glass, 1953, Melbourne
As well as Perry’s pro-cathedral, the background shows the Anglican churches in the area beginning in Perry’s eiscopate, and extending to time of the window’s commissioning. The landscape. though generalised, includes typical rural buildings, a windmill and the outlines of gumtrees.
Photographer: John Bowhill
