The invention of the Argand burner in 1784 propelled a virtual
lighting revolution in the first half of the nineteenth century.
This highly informative and outstandingly illustrated book
showcases the variety of nineteenth century lamps through the use
of color photos, old etchings, and period lighting catalogues --
including the only known 1850 Henry N. Hooper and Company
Illustrated Catalogue, shown in its entirety. Lighting enthusiasts
at every level will find many never-before-published photographs of
Argand, sinumbra, and solar lighting devices, along with valuable
information on heights, shade ring fitter diameters, and value
ranges. Brief histories are provided for some of the better known
lighting manufacturers, including Hooper, Dietz, Messenger, and
Cornelius. The author also discusses various types of lighting
fuel, terminology, how to differentiate reproductions from
originals, and where to look for manufacturers' marks. Collectors
of lighting and other fine arts from the first half of the
nineteenth century will find this an essential reference for many
years to come.
