I often come across 19th century windows in little village churches where the glass was so poorly made that the faces of the figures have turned to featureless white blobs. But this was the first time I'd heard of green glass disease!
Always makes me think of Kodachrome transparency slide film. Back at the art school they have slides of stained glass too teachers would take pictures from art books and display them with projectors to students, There is a certain way you look at them with magnifying glass. Slide is a stained glass of photograph.
19th century stained glass, not so much - but that's probably only because 90% of the village churches in Dorset have 19th century stained glass, and it tends to be too dark and overpowering in a small ancient church. I'm a bit prejudiced against it.

I love medieval and modern stained glass.
