01 15 25 / 1935 Silver Jubilee Window - Detail 2

The dedication reads:

 

"On the Occasion of the Silver Jubilee of the Accession of His Majesty King George Vth. To Commemorate the Christian Amity existing between the Nations of the Empire.

 

This Window was erected by W. H. Cawthra."

 

The window represents various countries and territories forming the Empire as of 1935.

 

The window was designed by Toronto artist Peter Haworth, the Art Department director at the Central Technical School and Instructor of Design and Drawing at The University of Toronto. The fabrication of the window was carried out by the firm of Pringle & London of Jarvis Street.

 

By the time the window was unveiled in December of 1936, King George Vth had died. This window had become a memorial rather than a celebration.
