MOSAIC RAREDOS, ST JOHN'S LAUNCESTON |
This lovely mosaic reredos (“an
ornamental screen covering the back wall of an altar”), made as a
memorial to the fallen of World War One, is located inside St John's
church in Launceston. It was made in 1921. The glass tiles were
from England, and the construction was carried out by Brooks Robinson
and Co of Melbourne. There is no need to say more, but if you'd like
additional details, you can use TROVE to read an informative article
in The Examiner 30th June 1921.
