"The Tiffany Girls"
by Shelley Noble
Passcode: 179570
It’s 1899, and Manhattan is abuzz. Louis Comfort Tiffany, famous for his stained-glass windows, is planning a unique installation at the Paris World’s Fair, the largest in history. At their fifth-floor studio on Fourth Avenue, the artists of the Women’s Division of the Tiffany Glass Company are already working longer shifts to finish the pieces that Tiffany hopes will prove that he is the world’s finest artist in glass. Known as the “Tiffany Girls,” these women are responsible for much of the design and construction of Tiffany’s extraordinary glassworks, but none receive credit.
Endearing characters and a compelling story woven together with historical events. The descriptions of New York and Paris at the turn of the century included social, political and artistic narratives which flowed the tale along. There were touches of romance but in balanced proportions.
