This preparatory sketch design was made by Leonard Potter (1936–2011) and depicts the legend of St Christopher who carried a child, later revealed as Christ, across a river. The completed stained glass panel is now in the collection of The Stained Glass Museum (ELYGM:2016.8). Potter studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, where he was a pupil, assistant, and colleague of Karl Parsons. Potter worked closely with Parsons, as well as other key artists such as Christopher Whall and Harry Clarke. However, he gave up his stained glass career in the 1930s to take up a position within the BBC's publicity department, where he was involved in designing TV logos, screen tests and backdrops.
