Greetings,
From my 18th century projects, you can soak or boil horn to flatten it, but you can also split it into very this sheets, for use as lantern panes etc. A very durable and easy to work with medium.
Another thought, what about mica sheets? I know it was used as panes as well, just not sure of the wheres and whens if you go back past the 16-1700's...some mica I have seen is a white, sometimes pinkish hue.....
Respectfully submitted,
Wes
