Harry Clarke
After studying in his native Ireland at the Dublin Metropolitan College of Art and Design, Harry Clarke moved to London and trained at the South Kensington Schools of Design. After completing his studies, he returned to Dublin and worked for his father’s business designing stained glass. Harry and his brother Walter took over the business after their father’s death in 1921. When Walter died, the studio became the Harry Clarke Glass Studios, and continued to operate even after Harry’s death, producing an estimated 1000 windows and finally closing in 1973. Clarke illustrated many books, including Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination.
