Late 19th Century Memorial Stained Glass Panel in Frame

Tall oak-framed, leaded opalescent window in layered umber, teal, and ice-blue glasses with stylized foliate tracery and roundels. The lower cartouche reads: "In memory of Israel Jonason & Wife by thare Son, " a striking bit of vernacular spelling preserved in glass. American church-glass studios flourished c.

1888 and producing memorial windows for immigrant congregations. The surname "Jonason" suggests Scandinavian patronage common to Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa/Illinois Lutheran churches; the nonstandard "thare" (akin to dialectal "thar") likely reflects phonetic English used by a non-native donor or glazier, adding regional character and documentary value. Shows one tight crack at the upper right and a small, older repair at the lower left; mild age toning and expected oxidation to the cames.

The oak frame is solid and ready for installation. 23.5" W x 84" H MM - C-17358 - 100225.
