Painted Window presented to the King of Denmark, by Mr. Peto, M.P., 1854. Gift from Samuel Morton Peto to Frederick VII on the opening of the Royal Danish Railway. 'The window...consists of twenty-five lights...The central one contains a life-size figure of our Saviour, as the Good Shepherd. His head seems radiant with holiness, and His garments denote the spotless purity of his nature; the position...in the centre of the Window is a clever conception as indicating the position which be occupies as the focus of God's love and "the brightness of His glory". The ten lights composing the lower compartment...are appropriated to the heraldic devices and Royal insignia of earthly sovereignty. A medallion portrait of the present King of Denmark occupies the centre...This beautiful window was designed by Mr. John Thomas, of Paddington; and executed by Mr. James Ballantyne, of Edinburgh'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
