J&R Lamb Studios

The young brothers left Lewisham, England, at some point in 1840 to come to the United States with their father, a landscape architect, who had been engaged to work on Niblo's Garden, an exhibition hall and open-air theater.

The firm was chosen by the United States government as one of four studios to represent American achievements in stained glass at the Paris International Exposition of 1900.

They won two prizes for their window entitled Religion Enthroned designed by Frederick Stymetz Lamb (1862–1928), the third of Joseph's sons.

[1][3] Frederick's brother, Charles Rollinson Lamb (1860-1942), a renowned City Beautiful theorist and architect, shaped the studio's aesthetic and intellectual character and business.

[7][8] Studio owner and family member, Karl Barre Lamb (1890–1969), was president of the Stained Glass Association of America 1954–1955 and an elected fellow.
