Three stained glass windows from the State archive (3rd of March 2017)

I recently archived some old photos and found a folder called "Olimpijada", and in it, among other things, photos of three stained glass windows from the building of the State archive in Zagreb.

The photos were taken on 18th of July 2010 during International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) which took place in Zagreb - I already wrote about it in a >> post from 2011. I noted that the three photographs contain enough data for a nice reconstruction of the stained glass so I performed it. The photographs were corrected for perspective and adequately scaled so that the stained glass is projected on a plane of the photograph / monitor as correctly as possible (above and below; click on the photos to show them in full).

One can clearly see the signature of the workshop which made the stained glass on a photograph above - it says Koch i Marinković Zagreb Nova ves 1. The building was opened on 29th of November 1913, so that the stained glass windows are probably from year 1913. The building is probably the most beautiful one from the Art Noveau period in Zagreb.

All the windows shown are at the ceilings of the building. The photographs were taken with Nokia N97 mobile phone.
