EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Edison's original incandescent electric lamp, a true triumph of invention. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image was originally featured as an illustration for Cyril Hall's book "Triumphs of Invention" published by Blackie around 1925. The photo captures the essence of progress and experimentation in the field of electricity. Displayed in a science museum, the lamp stands proudly with its glowing filament illuminating the surrounding area. Its technological significance cannot be overstated, as it revolutionized lighting worldwide. The composition highlights various elements that contribute to its historical importance: from the carbonized filament inside to Mr. Edison's walking stick resting against it, symbolizing his genius at work. The fallen candles nearby serve as a reminder of how this invention replaced traditional forms of illumination. Located in South Kensington's life-enriching environment, this photograph transports viewers back to London during a time when technological advancements were shaping society. It invites contemplation on how such inventions have transformed our lives and paved the way for further innovation. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous piece of history through their skilled photography expertise. This print serves as both a visual delight and an educational tool for those interested in exploring mankind's journey towards brighter futures powered by lightbulbs rather than candles.
