Cartoon for 16" tulip shade. Artist: Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, New York 1848-1933 New York). Culture: American. Dimensions: 25 1/4 x 29 1/2 in. (64.1 x 74.9 cm). Maker: Tiffany Studios (1902-32). Date: ca. 1906.Floral motifs dominate some of the most evocative nature-inspired lampshades produced by Tiffany Studios. Cartoons were an integral part in the making of a leaded-glass shade. This cartoon for a sixteen inch tulip shade shows that the pattern is repeated three times, with one section numbered to correspond to the brass templates used to trace and cut the glass. The dark outlines on the cartoon represent the leading used to hold the pieces of glass together. This is one of only two cartoons used at Tiffany Studios that is known to have survived. It is part of a group of tools and objects, including a workbench, given to the Met by John Dikeman (1882-1967), the last head of the lampshade shop at the firm. (For example, see 1980.497.1-.9,.15, .23-.25). Museum: Metropolitan
