A black and white proof sheet of photographs of four stained glass windows in La Casa Nueva, 1980.

To the right is a window found in the library with scenes from "Don Quixote" showing the character of Sancho Panza on the left panel on a mule, and Don Quixote on the right charging windmills on his horse. The four surrounding panels are made up of diamond-shaped glass. On the bottom are two windows consisting of six painted glass panels found in the master bedroom relating to family history. To the left is the Temple family story of oil with the two middle panels showing oil towers to the left, and tanks to the right. On the top left is a crest enclosing the California bear flag and to the right is the Tudor rose resting on a cross. The bottom left is the seal of the state of Massachussetts which depicts a Native American man with bow and arrows, while to the right is the Temple family crest with falcons and a crown. On the right is the Workman family window with the two middle scenes depicting pioneers; the Mexican eagle and snake on the top left panel; a guardian angel to the right; Spanish seal to the bottom left; and the Mexican ocal on the bottom right. Each is labeled 759, 760, 757, and 758 in a clockwise order. On the back is a stamp crediting Duane C. Alan as the photographer. With no signs of wear, the image is in good condition.
