Louis B. Davis was a painter, designer of stained glass and illustrator, much influenced by Burne-Jones and Blake. Drawings by him appear in the English Illustrated Magazine (1886–1892) and in 1895 he illustrated Goodnight, a collection of verse by Dollie Radford. His stained glass and other decorative works were popular being commissioned among other places for Westminster Abbey.
He also decorated the Private chapels of The Duchess of Bedford and The Marques of Londonderry. It has been suggested that a stained glass of this subject is
at Foxleigh, Wiltshire.
1861–1941
