Louis Pasteur commissioned two stained glass windows from the painter and glassmaker Gaspar Gsell (husband of Adèle Laurent, who was Mrs. Pasteur's cousin) for his study at the Ecole Normale. The first vaccinations against rabies took place in front of the stained glass windows that Louis Pasteur installed next in the small living room of his apartment at the Institut Pasteur in 1888.
