Lavishly illustrated, it charts Healy's stained glass career and features images of all his principle windows in Ireland and on three continents - windows that convey everything from austere majesty to tender humanity, often revelling in beguiling narrative detail. In his spare time Healy surreptitiously recorded Dubliners going about their daily business, producing many, many hundreds of charming, rapidly executed pencil and watercolour images which collectively form a homage to the citizens of the city he loved.

Michael Healy 1873-1941 : An Tur Gloine's stained glass pioneer
This book tells the story of the reclusive artist, raised in a Dublin tenement, who ahead of Harry Clarke, Wilhelmina Geddes and Evie Hone, established the bar for artistic and technical excellence in this exacting craft, and who worked at the world-renowned An Tú r Gloine (Tower of Glass) studio for almost four decades.
