Othmer Stained Glass Scarf in Red Spirals and Purple Flowers
Drape yourself in a scarf that captures Center for Brooklyn History's original stained glass windows, including its glowing rectangular sunroof and the Othmer Library’s crescent-shaped lunettes. These windows were most likely designed by the studio of Charles Booth (1844–1893), a stained-glass artist from Liverpool whose work referenced nature, Japanese art and more.
